Defect:
Paccar is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 kenworth t170, t270, t370, t440, t470, t660, t700, t800, w900, and peterbilt 320, 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 382, 384, 386, 388, 389, and 587 vehicles, manufactured from january 31, 2011, through january 19, 2012, and equipped with bendix atr-6 antilock traction relay valves. in extremely cold conditions, these bendix relay valves may potentially develop internal leakage. internal leakage can lead to air pressure being delivered to affected primary or secondary brake causing continuous brake application.
Consequence:
Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the brakes to overheat and lead to a fire. unexpected continuous brake application can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. also, the brakes may be applied without illuminating the brake lights, failing to give proper warning to other drivers.
Correction:
Paccar will notify owners, and provide a temporary repair until bendix develops a permanent remedy. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on february 10, 2012. owner may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.

Defect:
Kenworth is recalling certain model year 2012 and 2013 t270 and t370 medium duty trucks built with eaton ultrashift transmissions between december 7, 2011, and april 6, 2012. the air harness from the treadle valve on the affected vehicles was routed in a manner that can cause the air brake lines to be pinched between the cab and the electronic clutch actuator of the eaton ultrashift transmission. significant movement between the cab and transmission can cause progressive wear and an eventual leak in the air lines.
Consequence:
Air lines which leak can cause reduced brake function, which may result in a crash.
Correction:
Kenworth will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. the safety recall began on november 30, 2012. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5000.

Consequence:
As water leaks in, the wiper may cease to function on the 'intermittent' setting, reducing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. additionally, the water may cause corrosion which, over time, may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
Correction:
Paccar is still developing and testing a remedy. the recall is expected to begin in july 2015. an interim letter was sent to owners on july 2, 2015. the recall began on september 2, 1015. owners may contact kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000. paccar's number for this recall is 15kwf.
