💥 Crash riskNHTSA 07V073📅 Mar 2, 2007

2007–2008 Kenworth T300 & 2007–2008 Kenworth T600 + 1 more recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

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.

💥 The risk

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.

🔧 The fix

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.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
