The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced three recalls involving commercial trucks and trailers manufactured by PACCAR, Great Dane and Wabash. The recalls cover several Kenworth and Peterbilt truck models, along with van trailers from Great Dane and Wabash.
Together, the recalls affect 34,014 vehicles and involve fuel system components, trailer landing gear, and wheel bearing lubrication. Each manufacturer has identified a repair or inspection procedure that will be provided at no cost to affected owners.
PACCAR Recalls 26,729 Kenworth and Peterbilt Trucks
PACCAR Incorporated is recalling 26,729 trucks because remote fuel filter hoses may separate from their fittings. The separation could cause a fuel leak and potentially lead to an engine stall.
The recall covers certain vehicles across the following model years:
- 2022–2023: Kenworth T370 and T270
- 2022–2027: Kenworth T280 and Peterbilt 548
- 2023–2027: Kenworth T480 and T380, Peterbilt 536 and 537
- 2025: Peterbilt 567
Not every truck within these model years is necessarily included. Owners should confirm eligibility using the vehicle identification number (VIN).
PACCAR dealers will replace the affected fuel hoses free of charge. Owner notification letters are scheduled to begin mailing on December 20, 2026.
Owners can contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4220 or Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5888. PACCAR identifies the recall as 26PACJ.
Great Dane Recalls 6,810 Trailers Over Landing Gear Components
Great Dane is recalling 6,810 model year 2027 Champion and Everest van trailers because of a potential problem with the landing gear support structure.
According to the recall, welds on the landing gear K-brace may fail, allowing the landing gear to collapse. The K-brace is part of the support assembly associated with the trailer’s landing gear.
Great Dane will inspect the affected components and replace the landing gear K-brace when necessary. The inspection and replacement will be completed at no charge to owners.
Notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 22, 2026. Owners seeking additional information can contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
Wabash Recalls 475 Van Trailers Over Wheel Bearing Lubrication
Wabash has issued a recall affecting 475 model year 2027 van trailers because incorrect wheel bearing lubricant may have been used during production.
The lubricant issue could cause a wheel end to seize, potentially resulting in wheel lockup.
Dealers will inspect the affected trailers and replace the wheel bearing lubricant as necessary, free of charge.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 25, 2026. Wabash customer service is available at 1-765-771-5404 for additional recall information.
Checking Whether a Truck or Trailer Is Included
Although the recalls identify specific makes, models, and production years, inclusion is determined by the individual vehicle. A truck or trailer matching the listed model year is not automatically subject to the recall.
NHTSA provides a VIN-based recall lookup that allows owners to check for open safety recalls. The agency also provides information about recall campaigns and manufacturer remedies.
For company-owned equipment, fleet maintenance departments may coordinate inspections and repairs with authorized dealers. Owner-operators and independent trailer owners can contact the applicable manufacturer to confirm whether their equipment is affected and arrange the necessary service.
The three recalls have different notification schedules, with letters expected to begin arriving between late November and late December. Owners do not need to rely solely on receiving a mailed notice to check their equipment’s recall status.
All three manufacturers have announced no-cost remedies for the identified defects.
