-
Summary: PACCAR is recalling certain model year 2007-2014 Kenworth T800 and W900 trucks manufactured March 22, 2006, through July 15, 2013 and equipped with Primaax tridem rear suspensions and a pusher and/or tag axle. The affected trucks have brake chambers that take longer to apply or release the brakes than the required time limit. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
-
Consequence: Brakes that take longer to apply may lengthen the distance needed to stop the truck, increasing the risk of a crash.
-
Remedy: PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will modify the air brake system, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2014. Owners may contact PACCAR at 1-425-468-7400. Kenworth's recall number is 13KWL.

-
Summary: CERTAIN TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE BRAKE TIMING REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS."

-
Summary: CERTAIN TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS."

-

Recall 38445 started on 11/24/2006 by MFR effecting 443 units.
-
Summary: ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH A TRW TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN, THE TILT LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE STEERING COLUMN MAY DISENGAGE. THIS COULD PREVENT THE STEERING COLUMN FROM LOCKING IN TO PREDETERMINED POSITIONS.
-
Consequence: SHOULD THE LOCKING MECHANISM DISENGAGE, THE TILTING TRAVEL OF THE COLUMN WOULD BE UNRESTRICTED. THIS UNRESTRICTED TRAVEL ALLOWS THE STEERING WHEEL TO IMPACT THE DASH AND COULD LIMIT THE MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
-
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TILT LOCKING MECHANISM WITH A REVISED DESIGN THAT INCORPORATES A NEW BRACKET FOR RESTRAINING THE TILTING MECHANISM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KENWORTH AT 1-425-828-5440.
