NHTSA received PACCAR Incorporated’s report on Feb 5, 2014. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Without the transmission shifter being illuminated, the driver may not be able to easily identify what gear the vehicle is in, which could result in cause unintentional vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2014 Peterbilt 567 and 579 model chassis manufactured January 29, 2013, through October 9, 2013, and equipped with Allison-brand transmissions.
The affected vehicles may be missing the wiring that illuminates the shifter pad backlighting.
As such, the chassis fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, “Controls and Displays.”
