Problem PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Peterbilt 579 trucks. The Intellipark Tractor Park Valve Module (PVM) may intermittently become stuck in the un-parked position and fail to move into the park position when the park switch is activated. Risk A PVM that fails to move into park can cause a vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Dealers will replace the PVM with a new corrected part, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 12, 2023. Owners may contact PACCAR's customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 23PBC.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 23PBC is the number Peterbilt assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 23V185000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Which vehicles does 23PBC cover?

2023–2024 Peterbilt 579, 25 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the 23PBC repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
