2010 KENWORTH W900 Recalls (7)

Campaign:: 09V415000 on 10/26/2009
Component:: Power train:axle assembly
Manufactured:: 11/11/2008 - 09/29/2009
Affected:: 914
Defect:: Kenworth is recalling model year 2009 through 2010 t2000, t800, t660 and w900 trucks manufactured between november 12, 2008 and september 30, 2009. the axle u-bolts attaching the axle to the suspension leaf spring on certain ag400l rear suspensions may have received insufficient fastener torque during the installation process. the insufficient torque may allow the axle u-bolt to become loose, which may cause vibration in the rear suspension.
Consequence:: If multiple fasteners were to become loose, the rear axle may shift relative to the rear suspension leaf spring, which can result in loss of control and a crash.
Correction:: Dealers will inspect the axle u-bolts for visible defects, including bent and/or smashed threads and re-torque the axle u-bolts to factory specifications. the recall began on november 4, 2009. owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
Notes:: Kenworth recall no. 09kwa.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> .
Campaign:: 10V185000 on 05/03/2010
Component:: Suspension:rear:axle:spindle
Manufactured:: 07/29/2009 - 09/17/2009
Affected:: 21
Defect:: Kenworth is recalling certain model year 2010 t2000, t660, t800 and w900 vehicles manufactured between july 30, 2009 and september 18, 2009. the rear axle outer end hub may have not been primed with oil properly during the rear axle installation process. potential lack of oil may cause the outer end bearing to heat up and/or seize, possibly resulting in the overheating of the wheel end.
Consequence:: A wheel end fire may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:: Dealers will replace the bearings, seals and will add oil to the outer end hub as well as inspect races and axle housing for damage and replacing as necessary free of charge. the safety recall began on may 24, 2010. owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
Notes:: Kenworth recall no. 10kwb.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> .
Campaign:: 10V308000 on 07/01/2010
Component:: Steering:column
Manufactured:: 05/13/2007 - 04/19/2009
Affected:: 9,697
Defect:: Paccar is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 trucks equipped with trw steering shafts. the circumferential weld around the steering shaft tube that welds the splined tube to the non-splined tube may be mislocated. mislocation of the 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:: A separation of the splined and non-splined tubes would cause a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Correction:: Dealers will inspect the steering shaft using a weld placement gauge provided by trw. any steering shaft found to have been welded improperly will be replaced free of charge. the safety recall began on july 30, 2010. owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 940-591-4196.
Notes:: Kenworth's recall campaign number is 10kw-f & peterbilt recall no. 0610-d. 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> .
Campaign:: 10V535000 on 11/01/2010
Component:: Service brakes, air:disc:caliper
Manufactured:: 12/21/2008 - 08/01/2010
Affected:: 417
Defect:: Paccar is recalling certain model year kenworth t660, t700, t800 and w900 vehicles manufactured from december 22, 2008, through august 2, 2010, and equipped with ag400l air disc brakes. the air disc brake caliper could be installed on the wrong side of the drive axle potentially causing interference with the suspension bracket and the rear suspension as the outermost brake pads wear and the floating caliper moves inboard.
Consequence:: As this interference gets larger, this could eventually lead to reduced braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:: Dealers will verify the correct orientation of the brake caliper and perform the necessary repair free of charge. the safety recall began on november 24, 2010. owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
Notes:: Kenworth safety recall no. 10kwh.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> .
Campaign:: 11V127000 on 02/24/2011
Component:: Fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly
Manufactured:: 02/18/2007 - 02/22/2011
Affected:: 4,664
Defect:: 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.
Notes:: 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> .
Campaign:: 13V573000 on 11/20/2013
Component:: Service brakes
Manufactured:: 03/21/2006 - 07/14/2013
Affected:: 18
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.
Notes:: Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Campaign:: 15V309000 on 05/25/2015
Component:: Engine and engine cooling:engine
Manufactured:: 08/30/2009 - 04/19/2015
Affected:: 4,823
Defect:: Paccar incorporated (paccar) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 kenworth t440, t800, and w900 trucks manufactured august 31, 2009, to april 20, 2015, and 2008-2015 peterbilt 320, 337, 348, 365, 382, and 384 trucks manufactured july 27, 2007, to april 28, 2015, and equipped with certain cummins westport isl g engines. excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
Consequence:: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Correction:: Cummins will notify owners on behalf of paccar, and cummins service centers will administer the repairs which include securing the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogramming the electronic control module (ecm) with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. these repairs will be performed free of charge. the recall began on june 12, 2015. owners may contact kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000, peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000 or cummins inc. at 1-800-343-7357. paccar's number for this recall is 15kwh and 515-g.
