- Component:
- Parking brake:driveline:hydraulic
- Manufactured:
- 06/14/2004 - 03/29/2005
- Affected:

- Defect:
- On certain trucks equipped with hydraulic brakes, there may be a defect in the anchor bolt of some bosch model #305 parking brake assemblies. a different coating was applied to the bolt which did not meet paccar specifications. this could reduce the fatigue life of the bolt and lead to premature failure.
- Consequence:
- If this bolt were to fail, the truck could roll away while parked without warning, which could result in a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect the parking brake assembly and replace the defective bolts free of charge. peterbilt's recall began on november 4, 2005; and kenworth began on november 4, 2005. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201.

- Defect:

- Defect:
