PACCAR Incorporated: Various Kenworth Trucks Recalled for Insufficient Air Brake System Volume

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling approximately 936 Kenworth vehicles, including various models of the C500, T440, T660, T680, T800, T370, T880, T470, T480, and W900 produced between 2009 and 2024. These vehicles were manufactured with air tanks that do not hold enough air volume for the braking system, failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. To fix this safety issue, dealers will install the correct volume air tanks on affected vehicles free of charge.

Risk

If the air tanks have insufficient volume, the vehicle's braking performance can be significantly reduced. This failure to provide adequate air pressure during braking increases the distance required to stop and raises the risk of a crash.
