Component:
Parking brake:conventional:air
Manufactured:
01/15/2008 - 02/13/2008
Affected:
1,043
Defect:
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:
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.
Correction:
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.

Paccar 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:
The discharge of engine oil onto exhaust components which are hot, such as when the engine is under significant load, may cause a fire.
Correction:
Dealers 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 1-425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .

Affected:

Defect:
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.
Correction:
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.
