BAYSWATER NORTH, Australia — PACCAR AUSTRALIA PTY. LTD. is recalling certain 2020-2021 DAF CF 6×4 trucks due to non-compliance with Australian Design Rules covering its air-brake system.
According to the Australian Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications recall report, “In the event of a total trailer air brake system air loss, the prime mover and trailer brakes will automatically apply, increasing the risk of losing control of the vehicle.
