Paccar rumored to delete emissions because of parts shortages

Here is Kenworth’s release about upcoming software to allow you to run with failed DEF sensors. We will let you know the day it is available.

PACCAR has been working closely with government agencies to address issues related to the ongoing global shortage of computer chips and the impact that has had on the availability of certain replacement parts. One part in particular, the Urea Quality Sensor (UQS), is having a significant impact on model year 2016 through 2021 engines since the failure of this part leads to the vehicle being inoperable. In addition to working tirelessly on securing replacement parts, PACCAR is working with the agencies to provide a temporary software solution that would enable our trucks to operate with a failed UQS while the industry works to produce replacement parts to sustain a recall program. The agencies have reviewed the proposed approach and have agreed to this two-step program going forward as quickly as possible.

PACCAR is nearing completion on these field software solutions and should have early versions for some specific model years approved and released in the coming weeks, with the first version available mid-September with others following in quick succession. As parts become available, we will release details on the recall to update each truck.
