What it saysBendix Fusion Camera Parameter Correction - (KW) Certain Kenworth T680 chassis may have certain software parameters out of specification. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
PACCAR filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Apr 8, 2026, received May 6, 2026, about the forward collision avoidance. It names 4 model years across Kenworth and Peterbilt (2025–2026). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
One page for every brand it was filed under. Each brand’s bulletins: Kenworth · Peterbilt.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is PACCAR 36-010 a recall?
No. A service campaign is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is the 36-010 repair free?
A service campaign is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does 36-010 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 4 model years across 2 brands (Kenworth and Peterbilt): 2025 Kenworth T680, 2026 Kenworth T680, 2025 Peterbilt 579, 2026 Peterbilt 579. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone. The document itself sets the build window: built 8 Jul 2024 – 14 Mar 2025; built 8 Jul 2024 – 21 Feb 2025 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
