- Component:
- Service brakes, air
- Manufactured:
- 05/21/2006 - 11/06/2006
- Affected:
- 1,377
- Defect:
- Certain trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." the trailer light line may have been routed using too tight of a bend radius. this routing method could cause the wires within the harness plug to be pulled away from the chassis plug resulting in an intermittent or complete electrical power loss to the trailer.
- Consequence:
- Should power be lost, the electrical circuits would not provide power to the antilock system on the towed vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will reroute the light line to eliminate the excessive bend radius and replace any plug or harness that has been damaged free of charge. the recall began on april 16, 2007. owner may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.

- Affected:

- Defect:
- On certain trucks equipped with cummins isc or paccar px8 engines, the jumper wire between the grid heater relay to the fuse block has been routed in such a way that the potential exists for it to rub against the radiator support.
