What is wrong
PACCAR is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 T440 trucks manufactured July 19, 2012, through March 20, 2013. The tread plate is installed on the entry steps such that it does not align with the cab door opening. As such, it leaves a section of the step without sufficient slip prevention.
What can happen
The absence of a slip-resistant surface could cause a person to slip and become injured while climbing into or out of the cab.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
PACCAR will notify owners and dealers will install a new step assembly free of charge. The recall began July 19, 2013. PACCAR's recall number is 13KWG. Owners may contact PACCAR at 1-425-468-7400.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
