| Defect Summary | Kenworth is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2010 t660 tractor trailors manufactured from july 1, 2008 through july 31, 2009. the retaining pins securing the hood strut lock tube to the hood strut assembly may become loose and fall out allowing the lock tube to rotate on the strut assembly. in its normal operation the safety latch feature is automatically set and it prevents the hood from closing. with the hood closed and the retaining pins missing, the lock tube may rotate relative to the good strut resulting in a non-operational safety latch feature when the hood is opened. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | A non-operational safety latch feature may not be detected by an operator increasing the risk of personal injury and/or vehicle damage should the hood unexpectedly close. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace the pivot disc and lock tube retaining pins with a revised pivot disc and cap screws. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during june 2010. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||
