Close to 14,000 Kenworth trucks are subject to a safety recall because there have been problems with the digital dash display suddenly going into blue-screen recovery mode, leaving the driver without a speedometer or other gauges or indicators. 

Paccar is recalling 13,908 2024-2026 Kenworth T680, T880, and W990 trucks because the 15-inch digital display may enter recovery mode (blue screen) without prior indication. The screen is non-responsive and may reset after a key cycle or reprogramming. 

Because of a loss of speedometer and other functionality such as warnings, indicators, and gauges, the driver will not know the truck speed or the warnings that appear on the digital display. A loss of information on the digital display may increase the risk of a crash.

The problem is caused by a display graphics processing unit (GPU) overload. It can happen on Kenworth trucks with the EMUX (Ethernet Multiplexed Architecture) electrical system with 15-inch digital displays that do not have a custom gauge enabled on the dashboard from the factory.

On March 5, all Paccar factories began manually setting a custom “favorite” gauge to avoid the GPU overload that leads to the recovery mode (blue screen).
