The defect
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2020 Kenworth T270 and T370 vehicles. The brake treadle valves may have loose compression fittings, which can cause the air supply hose to separate from the valve.
The risk
A separated hose may cause reduced braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
