| 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 | Kenworth is recalling 1,189 my 2009 t2000, t600, t660, t800 and w900 trucks. the axle u-bolts attaching the axle to the drive beam on certain ag380 rear suspensions may have received insufficient fastener torque during the installation process. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | The insufficient torque may allow the axle u-bolt to loosen if undetected, could impact long term suspension performance and increase the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will have the axle u-bolt on the affected chassis re-torqued to factory specifications free of charge. the recall began on august 12, 2008. owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||

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

| Summaryon july 13, 2010, the office of defects investigations (odi) opened an investigation on model year (my) 2007-2009 peterbilt tractors equipped with the (spl170xl extended lube inter-axle driveline).odi opened this investigation based on one vehicle owners questionnaire (voq) and certain peterbilt field reports.during the course of the investigation, odi reviewed paccar's ir (october 22, 2010) response with associated data related to warranty and complaint information, mined field data, interviewed customers and visited local dealers within the washington metropolitan area.paccarconducted testing regarding torsional loading and identified various causative factors contributed to this safety defect finding.the defect is a consequence of the bearing surfaces of the spl170xl extended lube universal joint that attaches the inter-axle driveline to the drive axle becoming prematurely worn due to a breakdown of lubrication and/or excessive heat.prematurely worn bearing surfaces may result in the u-joint becoming loose and/or binding.this condition may result in universal joint failure, allowing the inter-axle driveline to detach from the axle, which may cause the drive axle to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage hazard.odi learned that the affected population of the alleged defect extended to peer models within paccar.in summary, the following vehicles are being recalled: my 2007 and 2008 kenworth trucks, models t600, t660, t2000, t800 and w900 and my 2007/2008 peterbilt trucks, models357, 378, 379, 385, 386, 387, 388, and 389 allequipped with extended lube inter-axle drivelines manufactured by dana corporation.the recall affects vehicles manufactured between february 2, 2006 and april 30, 2007.at this time paccar has not yet identified a fix for the inner-axle safety defect and is currently conducting testing with the intent to provide a solution to the failure.odi will monitor the development of paccars testing and ensure a timely repair for the consumer.this investigation is closed. | ||||||
