PACCAR Incorporated is recalling 72 of its 2023-2024 Peterbilt (models 536, 537, 548) and Kenworth (models T280, T380, T480) trucks because critical driveline fasteners may not have received the necessary adhesive thread-lock during manufacturing. This defect can cause the four flange-mounted yoke bolts to loosen over time, potentially leading to the driveline separating from the truck while in motion. Dealers will replace the fasteners and apply the required adhesive thread-lock free of charge to ensure the vehicle remains safe to operate.
If the driveline fasteners loosen and the driveline separates from the vehicle, it can cause an immediate loss of power and create a road hazard, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace driveline fasteners and apply adhesive thread-lock.
