2009 PETERBILT 367 Recalls (13)

Campaign:
08V065000 on 02/06/2008
Component:
Latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch
Manufactured:
10/10/2007 - 01/09/2008
Affected:
6,169
Defect:
Paccar is recalling 6,169 my 2008 kenworth t300, t660, t800, t2000, w900 and c500 vehicles and my 2008-2009 peterbilt models 365, 367, 384, 387, 388, 389 and 389 kits. certain door latch assemblies on these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 206, 'door locks and door retention components." the rotor in some of these door latch assemblies did not receive the proper heat treatment and may be soft.
Consequence:
In the event of a crash, force could cause the rotor to crack and the door would not have primary or secondary closing security which could possibly lead to injury of the vehicle occupant.
Correction:
Paccar is working with trimark and will inspect and replace the door latch if it is found to be defective. the recall began on march 14, 2008. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.
Notes:
Kenworth recall no. 08kw1 and peterbilt recall no. 108a.customers 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 http://www.safercar.gov.
Campaign:
08V104000 on 03/09/2008
Component:
Trailer hitches
Manufactured:
05/31/2006 - 01/30/2008
Affected:
318
Defect:
Paccar is recalling 318 my 2007-2009 kenworth t800, w900, and peterbilt 357, 365, 367, 378, 379, 384, 385, 386,388, and 389 trucks equipped with premier trailer hitch assemblies. the pintle hitch assemblies may have been manufactured in a manner resulting in a reduction of fatigue strength of the pivot pins.
Consequence:
This reduction of fatigue strength could cause the pivot pin to crack and eventually break, causing the trailer to detach from the truck while in motion, which could cause a crash that could result in personal injury or death.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the potentially defective pivot pin free of charge. the recall began on april 18, 2008. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.

Campaign:
08V128000 on 03/20/2008
Component:
Parking brake:conventional:air
Manufactured:
01/16/2008 - 02/17/2008
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.
Notes:
Kenworth recall no. 08kw3 and peterbilt recall no. 308e.customers 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 http://www.safercar.gov.
Campaign:
08V487000 on 09/24/2008
Component:
Engine and engine cooling:engine:diesel
Affected:
4,883
Defect:
Paccar is recalling 4,883 my 2006-2009 kenworth t600, t660, t800, w900, t2000 and my 2008-2009 peterbilt 365, 367, 379, 384, 386, 387, 388 and 389 trucks. inadequate stiffness of the diesel particulate filter (dpf) bracket could result in separation of the dpf from the chassis.
Consequence:
A vehicle crash could occur if another vehicle strikes the dpf on the roadway.
Correction:
Paccar is working with caterpillar to repair these vehicles (please see 08e041). owners may contact caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986 or kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.

Campaign:
09V258000 on 07/07/2009
Component:
Steering:column
Manufactured:
04/20/2009 - 06/11/2009
Affected:
2,096
Defect:
Paccar is recalling 2,096 my 2009 kenworth and peterbilt vehicles equipped with trw steering shafts. mislocation of a 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 could cause a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the steering shaft using a weld placement gauge and miswelded steering shaft will be replaced free of charge. the recall began july 31, 2009. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.
Notes:
Kenworth recall no. 09kw8 & peterbilt recall no. 609-c.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:
09V348000 on 09/02/2009
Component:
Engine and engine cooling:engine:diesel
Manufactured:
03/19/2007 - 07/06/2009
Affected:
135
Defect:
Paccar is recalling model year 2008-2010 kenworth t300, t270, and t370, model year 2009-2010 t800 and peterbilt model year 2008-2010 335, 340, and 367 vehicles built on cummins' diesel engine. the vehicles may be designed with a hard wired, dash-mounted switch that enables the vehicle operator to inhibit aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration in environments where the operator believes it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures. due to an issue with the logic in the ecm software in these engines, the switch may not function correctly, leading the operator to believe that the switch is in "inhibit" mode when it is not.
Consequence:
This condition will permit hot exhaust gases to exit the vehicle tailpipe, increasing the risk of melting or burning of nearby surfaces, or a fire.
Correction:
Paccar is working with cummins to repair the engines free of charge please see 09e-046. the safety recall began on october 1, 2009. owners may contact cummins at 1-800-diesels (1-800-343-7357).

10V308000 on 07/01/2010
Component:
Steering:column
Manufactured:
07/03/2008 - 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:

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.
