| Defect Summary | Paccar is recalling model year 2008-2010 kenworth t300, t270, and t370, model year 2009-2010 t800 and peterbilt model year 2008-2010 335, 340, and 367 vehicles built on cummins' diesel engine. the vehicles may be designed with a hard wired, dash-mounted switch that enables the vehicle operator to inhibit aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration in environments where the operator believes it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures. due to an issue with the logic in the ecm software in these engines, the switch may not function correctly, leading the operator to believe that the switch is in inhibit mode when it is not. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | This condition will permit hot exhaust gases to exit the vehicle tailpipe, increasing the risk of melting or burning of nearby surfaces, or a fire. | |||||||||||||||

| 08V128000 | PACCAR INCORPORATED | from 01/17/2008 to 02/18/2008 | V (Vehicle) | 1043 | 04/14/2008 | MFR | PACCAR INCORPORATED | 03/21/2008 | 03/21/2008 | |||||||
| Defect Summary | Paccar is recalling 1,043 my 2008-2009 kenworth c500, t2000,t660, t800 and w900 trucks equipped with bendix mv-3 dash control valves. the molded valve body has an incorrect core pin in the injection mold causing the valve body to be oversized in the double check valve area. this condition can allow the rubber double check valve to become lodged in the body opening under certain circumstances. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged double check valve thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing reduced ability for modulating the service emergency brakes. in such an event, the operator should observe an air leak, indications of low air pressure via the primary and secondary air gauges, and audible and visual low air pressure warning alarms. a vehicle crash is possible if these warnings are not heeded. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace the bendix mv-3 dash control valves free of charge. the recall began on april 14, 2008. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-4196. | |||||||||||||||
