Defect Summary | On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, the suspension has transverse beam castings that may fracture under normal loads. if a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface. | |||||||||||||||
Consequence Summary | This could cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire. | |||||||||||||||
Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. the recall began on june 10, 2005, with letters being mailed to peterbilt owners; and on june 17, 2005, for kenworth owners. owners may contact peterbilt at 940-591-4201 or 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. | |||||||||||||||

Defect Summary | On certain trucks and tractors equipped with airglide high-articulation rear suspensions, the c65-1006 sway bar used in this rear suspension may experience a reduction in fatigue life due to either a manufacturing process or a high induced stress during an extreme suspension articulation event. | |||||||||||||||
Consequence Summary | Both of these conditions can lead to a failure of the sway bar which could cause the rear axle to come loose, increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
Corrective Summary | The inspection and repair of these vehicles will depend on the type of vehicle (tractor or truck) and the intended service application. this inspection and repair criteria will be forthcoming. the recall began on june 30, 2005. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440. | |||||||||||||||
