⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, the axle housings may have been manufactured with steel that was out of specification which could result in a fatigue failure over time.
💥 The risk
If a fatigue failure occurs and is left unattended, the axle may lock up or the end of the axle could come off, which may result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the axles free of charge. The recall began on may 9, 2007. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.
