Chronology :

11-11-2021: PeterbilteBay Safety and Compliance reviewed a natural gas truck and found the warning lamp and the warning alarm did not indicate constant warning sound and light when the methane detection system power was lost. Investigation opened.

11-12-2021: 50 trucks are on hold at the plants (48 PB and two (2) KW chassis) and being reworked for creating a redundant power source for warning lamp and buzzer. The field trucks may be reworked similar to the plant rework.

11-19-2021: AELs (KW: 00301N5, PB: 031AHMD) are created as an additional method to identify future trucks with methane detection that may need an alternate design called out.

11-24-2021: Chillicothe confirms rework procedure effectively resolved the concern. Fuse B6 was pulled to simulate a loss of system power, causing the warning lamp to illuminate and alarm to sound.

12-07-2021: Affected population of vehicles in the field defined.

12-09-2021: Warranty Claims checked for this system and found none.

12-22-2021: Safety committee meeting held. The committee agrees that a defect relating to motor vehicle safety exists.
