2007–2008 Kenworth T270 & 2007–2008 Kenworth T370 + 1 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Paccar is recalling 36 my 2007-2008 T270, T370 and my 207 T300 trucks equipped with dual under-cab fuel tanks and an in-cab battery box (icbb). A harness support bracket mounted on the underside of the cab may come in contact with the fuel line at the top of the fuel splitter valve.
💥 The risk
The edge of the bracket may compromise the fuel line causing an interruption in fuel flow, or loss of fuel resulting in compromised vehicle performance or potentially causing a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will re-work the existing icbb cable routing bracket and replace the fuel splitter valve bracket to provide adequate clearance between components. The recall began o june 30, 2008. Owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.
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.)
