Peterbilt 587: Exterior lighting — fog lights
Affects Peterbilt 587 · 2014–2015 — about 63 vehicles.
The hazard
If both the fog lamps and high beams are illuminated at the same time, oncoming traffic may be blinded by the excessive light, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will update the Cab Electronic Control Unit (CECU) to correct the programming so the fog lights do not come on when the high beams are on, free of charge. The recall began in May 2014. Owners may contact Peterbilt at 1-800-473-8372. Paccar's number for this recall is 414-E.
