Nearly 14,000 Kenworth trucks recalled for dash screen issue

Nearly 14,000 Kenworth trucks are being recalled because of a problem with their digital instrument display. The recall, announced September 2, 2025, covers some 2024-2026 Kenworth T680, T880, and W990 models.

The details: The recall is due to a faulty 15-inch screen on the dash that can enter a blue "recovery mode" and stop working without any warning.

The failure knocks out important information for the driver, including speed and warning lights.
PACCAR said this display issue can make it hard for drivers to know what's going on with their truck.

What’s being done: Dealers will update the software for free to fix the bug.

There isn't a set schedule for when owners will be notified yet, according to NHTSA.

For questions, drivers can reach Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5888 and mention recall number 25PACG.
