Defect Summary | On certain trucks equipped with caterpillar c11, c13 or c15 engines, the oil fill cap can become dislodged due to cap damage or improper installation and become lodged in the u-joint of the steering driveline and steering gear. | |||||||||||||||
Consequence Summary | If the cap becomes dodged in this area, it may result in difficulty steering the vehicle or cause complete steering lock-up increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
Corrective Summary | Paccar is working with caterpillar to repair these vehicles. revised oil cap retention based on the engine model/configuration will be incorporated to prevent steering lock-up. the recall began during december 2007. owners may contact caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986 or kenworth at 425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||

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

STEERING | ||||||||||||||||
05V543000 | PACCAR INCORPORATED | from 07/01/2004 to 11/15/2005 | V (Vehicle) | 241 | 12/07/2005 | MFR | PACCAR INCORPORATED | 11/29/2005 | 11/29/2005 | |||||||
Defect Summary | On certain trucks equipped with the bendix electronic stability control (esp) system, the system uses multiple sensors and an electronic control unit (ecu) to control vehicle under steer, over-steer, and rollover situations. the system relies on vehicle sensors to be functioning and aligned properly. the steering angle sensor has the potential to be misaligned with the steering column shaft, thereby providing incorrect information to the bendix ecu. | |||||||||||||||
Consequence Summary | This condition could affect vehicle throttle control and braking, thereby leading to loss of vehicle steering control which could cause a crash without warning. | |||||||||||||||
Corrective Summary | Because of the immediate and substantial risk, kenworth and peterbilt dealers will first deactivate the yaw control feature of the bendix esp system preventing inadvertent esp activation. when parts are available, the steering column will be replaced to insure proper alignment of the steering shaft sensor and the full esp system will be reactivated. the recall began on december 7, 2005. parts to complete the remedy are estimated to be available in early 2006. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201. | |||||||||||||||

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

Defect Summary | Paccar is recalling 130 my 2004-2009 t2000, t800, t600, w900 and t660 kenworth trucks built with an ag400 rear suspension, long stroke brake chambers, and wide base tires (super singles). these vehicles may develop an increase in lateral and vertical axle movement. this movement may cause part or parts of the brake assembly (brake cam tube support, brake chamber bracket, brake chamber, brake spider) to develop fatigue cracks, possibly resulting in the failure of the part or parts within the brake assembly. | |||||||||||||||
Consequence Summary | A failure may reduce vehicle brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
Corrective Summary | Dealers will install the cam tube support brackets on all of the rear axle wheel ends. inspect the rear axle brake assembly and replace it if cracked. the recall is expected to begin during november 2008. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||

Defect Summary | On certain trucks and tractors equipped with airglide high-articulation rear suspensions, the c65-1006 sway bar used in this rear suspension may experience a reduction in fatigue life due to either a manufacturing process or a high induced stress during an extreme suspension articulation event. | |||||||||||||||
Consequence Summary | Both of these conditions can lead to a failure of the sway bar which could cause the rear axle to come loose, increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
Corrective Summary | The inspection and repair of these vehicles will depend on the type of vehicle (tractor or truck) and the intended service application. this inspection and repair criteria will be forthcoming. the recall began on june 30, 2005. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||
