What is wrong
PACCAR is recalling certain model year 2014 Kenworth T470 and T800 trucks manufactured January 1, 2013, through January 22, 2013.

Risk
If the vehicle is started while it is in gear, it may move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
PACCAR will notify owners and dealers will correct the ESA parameter, free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2013. PACCAR's recall number is 13KWH. Owners may contact PACCAR at 1‑425‑468‑7400.
