Defect
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Peterbilt 220 and Kenworth K300 trucks manufactured September 1, 2014, to March 30, 2015. Each time the cruise control speed decrease button is pressed, the vehicle speed will actually increase by one mile per hour.
Risk
If a driver is intending to slow down a vehicle but instead it inadvertently speeds up, there is an increased risk of a crash.
