Dec 12 (Reuters) - Truck-maker PACCAR ( PCAR ) is

recalling 220,972 vehicles in the U.S. due to issues with the

electronic control units (ECU) that might impact systems

associated with braking and stability control, the U.S. auto

safety regulator said on Thursday.

The recall includes some 2021-2025 Peterbilt and Kenworth

vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

said.

Electrical noise and low signal to the power line carrier

may cause the ECUs to incorrectly process commands or stop

functioning, increasing the risk of a crash, the NHTSA said.

The U.S. auto regulator said dealers will reprogram the ECU

software free of charge.
