The defect
PACCAR is recalling certain model year 2014 Kenworth T470 and T800 trucks manufactured January 1, 2013, through January 22, 2013. A parameter in the Electronic Service Analysis (ESA) tool was mistakenly switched to disable the start-in-gear protection feature. Because of this, the vehicles may be started when the automatic transmission is in gear.
The risk
If the vehicle is started while it is in gear, it may move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
