- Consequence:
- If the stop/tail/turn light is not illuminated, the driver's intentions would not be communicated, which increases the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Kenworth will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective stt lamps with new lamps. the recall began on february 4, 2014. customers may contact paccar at 1-425-468-7400. kenworth's number for this recall is 13kwm.

- Affected:

- Defect:
- Paccar incorporated (paccar) is recalling certain model year 2014 kenworth t660, t680, t700,t800, t880, w900, t440, t470, t370, t270, t170, c500, and c550 chassis manufactured between august 7, 2013, and october 31, 2013, and peterbilt 320, 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 382, 384, 386, 388, 389, and 587 chassis manufactured between august 7, 2013, and november 3, 2013, and equipped with immi-brand l9 seat belt buckles. when the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."
- Consequence:
- If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
- Correction:
- Paccar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckles, as necessary, free of charge. the recall began on march 31, 2014. owners may contact paccar at 1-425-468-7400. kenworth's number for this campaign is 14kwc. peterbilt's number for this campaign is 114-b.
