| 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 | Paccar is recalling 86 my 2009 kenworth t660, t800, w900, and peterbilt 386, 365, and 388 trucks equipped with bendix front air disc brakes. the size 14 service chamber of certain front air disc brakes may have been contaminated with grease between the piston head/plate and the diaphragm. when braking pressure is applied, the grease may allow the piston head/plate to slip off center and catch on the reducing ring of the size 14 service chamber. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | The catching of the piston head/plate on the reducing ring may lock up the corresponding front air disc brake which may impact the operator's ability to steer or control the vehicle. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace both front air disc brakes size 14 service chambers free of charge. the recall began on august 27, 2008. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Paccar is recalling 140 my 2005, 2007-2009 t800, w900, and t660 trucks. the caliper mounting fasteners attaching the air disc brake caliper assembly to the torque plate may have received insufficient torque during the installation process. the insufficient torque may allow the air disc brake caliper assembly to become loose and possibly separate from the vehicle. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | This could result in reduced braking capacity and also a road debris hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect air disc brake caliper assemblies and replace the caliper mounting fasteners and torque properly. this service will be performed free of charge. the manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Paccar is recalling certain model year kenworth t660, t700, t800 and w900 vehicles manufactured from december 22, 2008, through august 2, 2010, and equipped with ag400l air disc brakes. the air disc brake caliper could be installed on the wrong side of the drive axle potentially causing interference with the suspension bracket and the rear suspension as the outermost brake pads wear and the floating caliper moves inboard. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | As this interference gets larger, this could eventually lead to reduced braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will verify the correct orientation of the brake caliper and perform the necessary repair free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during november 2010. owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||
