Defect SummaryOn 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 SummaryIf 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 SummaryPaccar 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 SummaryOn certain emergency vehicles equipped with cummins isl cm850 diesel engines, the connecting rods which transfer energy from the piston to the crankshaft are defective and can result in seizure of the piston pin. a piston pin seizure can result in a mission-disabling engine failure.
Consequence SummaryThis condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryPaccar is working with cummins to replace the connecting rods free of charge (please see 06e037). owners may contact cummins at 1-800-diesels or kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.
