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. | |||||||||||||||

The office of defects investigation (odi) opened this preliminary evaluation of kenworth products based on their field communication tib # 34-31.kenworth introduced the qcs ii sta-dry trailer cable in may 2006.the technical information bulletin stemmed from field feedback that indicated a flexibility problem with the qcs ii cable connection, which could result in a loss of lighting to the trailer.odi believes a loss of lighting would adversely affect the trailer's visibility. further, the resulting loss of brake lights is inherently critical to highway safety, day or night.kenworth has upgraded the tib repair to a safety recall.kenworth dealers will install a reinforcement bracket between the back of the qcs ii molded boot and the frame bracket, thus providing abetter cable connection. the defect notification was submitted on 4/25/08 (copy attached).trailers built between may 24 and november 21, 2006 (model year 2007 trailers) will be remedied.the population to be remedied is 3,573 in the united states.this investigation is closed. | ||||||

On june 23, 2009 paccar notified odi that 3,423 kenworth t2000, t800, t600, w900, and t660 trucks, model years 2004 - 2009, equipped with bendix brakes, wide base low profile tires and airglide (ag) 400/460 rear suspensions are being recalled.certain of these vehicles have experienced fatigue cracks in the brake cam tube mounting or air chamber mounting flanges bracket adjacent to the attachment welds. if left unrepaired, the cracks can cause a complete fracture of the cam tube, which could disable the affected brake and risk increasing vehicle stopping distances under high pressure brake applications and decrease parking brake capability.this configuration has experienced failures at a higher rate than similar vehicles with other types of suspensions and brake installation clocking. paccar will also send an owner notification letter to owners of vehicles equipped with suspensions other than the ag 400/460, which will prescribe a periodic inspection of the components and if a crack is discovered, offer the owners the opportunity for a free repair.this policy will be in effect until july 15, 2014. copies of the recall and the owner notification are attached. |

On two of are 2006 t2000 kenoworth semis, the s-cam tube broke under stress of normal braking. causing the trucks to lose there braking power to that tire. these trucks had around 400,000 miles on them. this kind of repair is rare this early in the trucks life, and is possibly dangerous if it happens at the wrong time. *tr |
