Bulletin Summary
Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from Kenworth Truck Company that a condition exists relating to motor vehicle safety, compliance, or emissions in a vehicle equipped with Altec equipment. Kenworth Truck Company has decided that certain Vehicle Model Year 2023-2026 T180 / T280 / T380 / T480 chassis built from 7/5/2022 through 12/20/2024 fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 101 - Controls and Displays and FMVSS No. 108 - Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment. The Exterior Lighting Switch (ELS) in certain vehicles may not function. It is non-responsive and can be reset only by a key cycle. If the ELS fails, the hazard lights and the backlight brightness adjustment may not function. As a result, the lack of hazard lights may not alert other drivers. Failure to adjust the backlight brightness may distract the operator or make it difficult to see critical safety information, which may increase the risk of a crash. No warning precedes this condition.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
