2009 Kenworth T660 recall: door latches & locks
⚠️ What's wrong
Paccar is recalling 62 my 2009 kenworth T660 trucks. The 90 degree standoff mounted on the front bumper support may come into contact with the hood strut, which may result in a non-operational hood safety LATCH. The safety LATCH prevents the hood from closing.
💥 The risk
A non-operational safety LATCH may not be detected by a driver or mechanic and could increase the risk of personal injury or vehicle damage.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will relocate the 90 degree standoff and reroute the headlight harness away from the hood strut in order to provide the clearance needed. The recall began on july 21, 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.)
