    It is on the dealer side, just only as a tech note.

    Yes I see the tech note - but it's not officially listed as a recall yet. This is pretty common and happens with a lot of recalls.

    This recall has been officially announced. If your vehicle is affected you will receive a letter in the mail. If you are concerned about whether or not your vehicle is affected please call your nearest Paccar dealership with the last 6 digits of your VIN and they can tell you.

    There is no time or mileage limitation to this recall - it will be fixed at no cost to you. The repair time will be less than 2 hours, but most likely less than one hour. Shop wait time may vary.

    Well its not a problem until it's a problem. S-cam bushings are plastic and it's not a problem.

    Lots of components on trucks are plastic. Your throttle pedal is probably plastic, for instance.
