| Defect Summary | Kenworth is recalling 3,423 my 2004-2009 t2000, t800,t600, w900 and t660 vehicles. increased brake excitation in a certain vehicle configuration which includes bendix drum brakes, wide base low profile single tires, and an ag400 or ag460 rear suspension, due to its unique brake clocking and cam tube length, can cause fatigue and cracking to brake assembly components. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Cracking can cause a complete fracture of the cam tube, which could increase stopping distance and decrease parking brake hold capability. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect the rear axle brakes assembly, replace cracked rear axle brakes assembly components where required, and install cam tube support brackets on all rear axle wheel ends free of charge. the recall is expected to begin or before july 25, 2009. owner may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, the suspension has transverse beam castings that may fracture under normal loads. if a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | This could cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. the recall began on june 10, 2005, with letters being mailed to peterbilt owners; and on june 17, 2005, for kenworth owners. owners may contact peterbilt at 940-591-4201 or kenworth at 425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||

| Consequence Summary | A failure may reduce vehicle brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
