| 10V535000 | PACCAR INCORPORATED | from 12/22/2008 to 08/02/2010 | V (Vehicle) | 417 | MFR | PACCAR INCORPORATED | 10/27/2010 | 11/02/2010 | ||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Notes | Kenworth safety recall no. 10kwh.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov . | |||||||||||||||

| 11V157000 | PACCAR INCORPORATED | from 10/18/2010 to 01/28/2011 | V (Vehicle) | 280 | MFR | PACCAR INCORPORATED | 03/07/2011 | 03/10/2011 | ||||||||
| Defect Summary | Paccar is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 kenworth t270/370, t440/t470, t800, t660, w900 and c500 vehicles manufactured between october 18, 2010, and january 28, 2011. certain cast iron slack adjuster housings, which transmit braking force from the brake chamber push rod to the brake cam tube, may include a flow notch in the handle portion of the housing due to an error during the casting process. a flow notch in the handle portion may reduce the effective cross section structure and cause the slack adjuster housing to fracture. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If the slack adjuster housing were to fracture, the wheel brake to which the slack adjuster housing is attached would no longer function, which could increase vehicle stopping distances, and if mounted on the steer axle, could cause the vehicle to pull to one side during braking, increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect and replace the slack adjuster housing as necessary. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during april 2011. owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||
