Defect SummaryPaccar is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 kenworth t2000, t660, t700, t800, and w900, as well as model year 2009-2012 peterbilt 365, 367, 384, 386, 387, 388, 389, and 587 trucks equipped with paccar mx engines. the oil module centrifugal spinner filter cap in the paccar mx engine may become loose, possibly allowing the cap to come off and engine oil to partially discharge from the oil module onto exhaust components.
Consequence SummaryThe discharge of engine oil onto exhaust components which are hot, such as when the engine is under significant load, may cause a fire.
Corrective SummaryDealers will re-torque the oil module filter cap and install a secondary retention device on the secondary centrifugal spinner filter cap. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during march 2011. owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 940-591-4196.

Defect SummaryPaccar is recalling 6,169 my 2008 kenworth t300, t660, t800, t2000, w900 and c500 vehicles and my 2008-2009 peterbilt models 365, 367, 384, 387, 388, 389 and 389 kits. certain door latch assemblies on these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 206, 'door locks and door retention components. the rotor in some of these door latch assemblies did not receive the proper heat treatment and may be soft.
Consequence SummaryIn the event of a crash, force could cause the rotor to crack and the door would not have primary or secondary closing security which could possibly lead to injury of the vehicle occupant.
Corrective SummaryPaccar is working with trimark and will inspect and replace the door latch if it is found to be defective. the recall began on march 14, 2008. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.

Defect SummaryPaccar 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 SummaryIf 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 SummaryDealers 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.

Defect SummaryPaccar is recalling 2,096 my 2009 kenworth and peterbilt vehicles equipped with trw steering shafts. mislocation of a circumferential weld may allow the splined tube and non-splined tube to rotate relative to one another during a low speed, high torque turn, possibly resulting in a separation of the two tubes.
Consequence SummaryA separation of the splined and non-splined tubes could cause a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryDealers will inspect the steering shaft using a weld placement gauge and miswelded steering shaft will be replaced free of charge. the recall began july 31, 2009. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.

Defect SummaryPaccar is recalling 318 my 2007-2009 kenworth t800, w900, and peterbilt 357, 365, 367, 378, 379, 384, 385, 386,388, and 389 trucks equipped with premier trailer hitch assemblies. the pintle hitch assemblies may have been manufactured in a manner resulting in a reduction of fatigue strength of the pivot pins.
Consequence SummaryThis reduction of fatigue strength could cause the pivot pin to crack and eventually break, causing the trailer to detach from the truck while in motion, which could cause a crash that could result in personal injury or death.
Corrective SummaryDealers will replace the potentially defective pivot pin free of charge. the recall began on april 18, 2008. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.
