- 11003067On certain Peterbilt Model 220EV Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), timer 2 for the HED Telematic device may malfunction inside the cab harness. Due to this malfunction, the fuse for the telematic device is being triggered. If fuse has blown, the timer may malfunction.
- 11003064220EV Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) rely on 12V batteries that act as a buffer when the converter cannot meet peak 12V demand, causing additional stress to the batteries. This can lead to depleted 12V batteries.
- 11001048Information Only Dealers/body builders installing lift gates onto Peterbilt Model 220EV BEV chassis must use 24-volt lift gate systems 12-volt lift gate systems are not compatible with vehicle electrical systems. Installation of a 12V lift gate on the 24V system could result in the following: * Accelerated wear on the 12V batteries. * Excessive current load on 12V system wiring. * Lights may dim when lift gate is in operation. * Lift gate may operate more slowly..
- 10225578Info Only - PACCAR is introducing Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates for engine MY17 and newer chassis equipped with Cummins X15, X12, ISX12, ISX12N, L9N, PX-7, and PX-9 engines The technology will leverage the existing Remote Diagnostic cs hardware to deliver secure software updates remotely. This will reduce downtime and save on maintenance costs for eligible vehicles.
