(Reuters) -Truck-maker PACCAR is recalling 220,972 vehicles in the U.S. due to issues with the electronic control units (ECU) that might impact systems associated with braking and stability control, the U.S. auto safety regulator said on Thursday.
The recall includes some 2021-2025 Peterbilt and Kenworth vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
Electrical noise and low signal to the power line carrier may cause the ECUs to incorrectly process commands or stop functioning, increasing the risk of a crash, the NHTSA said.
The U.S. auto regulator said dealers will reprogram the ECU software free of charge.
