What's wrong
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2020 Kenworth T270 and T370 vehicles. The brake treadle valves may have loose compression fittings, which can cause the air supply hose to separate from the valve.
Consequence
A separated hose may cause reduced braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake treadle valve hose connections for loose compression fittings, tightening them as necessary, free of charge.
