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:

Consequence:
If the stop/tail/turn light is not illuminated, the driver's intentions would not be communicated, which increases the risk of a crash.

Consequence:
If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
Correction:
Paccar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckles, as necessary, free of charge. the recall began on march 31, 2014. owners may contact paccar at 1-425-468-7400. kenworth's number for this campaign is 14kwc. peterbilt's number for this campaign is 114-b.

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:
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.
