What's wrong?
The affected 2022-2023 trucks use a 15-inch digital driver information display in the instrument panel. That screen is supposed to show the driver key safety information, including required control and transmission information, while the truck is operating. It is the place the driver checks for information that should stay visible and current.
On these vehicles, certain software versions can let the display freeze unexpectedly. When the screen freezes, it stops updating and does not show the safety information the driver is relying on. PACCAR traced the problem to software that did not handle certain error conditions correctly, and the repair uses updated display software.
There is no warning sign before failure. The display can freeze without giving the driver an earlier symptom to watch for.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Without vehicle speed or warning light information on the display, the driver has less information for safe decisions, which increases crash risk. There is no warning sign before the display information is lost, so confirm your VIN and schedule the software update. Repair is free at any franchised Kenworth dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Kenworth or Peterbilt T680, T880, W990, 365, 367, 389, 567, or 579 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Kenworth dealer to schedule the free software update that fixes the freezing digital display.
- Reference recall number 22V779 when you call, and use Kenworth recall 22KWK or Peterbilt recall 22PBK if the dealer asks for the brand recall number.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and tell the dealer the instrument display can freeze and stop showing vehicle speed or warning lights.
- Drive with extra care until the software update is complete, since the display information loss increases crash risk.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Kenworth technician updates the vehicle software that controls the digital display and related safety information shown to the driver. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the repair is free. PACCAR used its general reimbursement plan for this campaign. If you already paid for a related display or software repair before the recall notice, bring receipts and repair paperwork to the service desk so the claim can be reviewed under that plan.
