💥 Crash riskNHTSA 08V485📅 Sep 24, 2008

2004–2009 Kenworth T2000 & 2004–2009 Kenworth T600 + 3 more recall: suspension

⚠️ What's wrong

Paccar is recalling 130 my 2004-2009 T2000, T800, T600, W900 and T660 kenworth trucks built with an AG400 rear suspension, long stroke brake chambers, and wide base tires (super singles). These vehicles may develop an increase in lateral and vertical axle movement. This movement may cause part or parts of the brake assembly (brake cam tube support, brake chamber bracket, brake chamber, brake spider) to develop fatigue cracks, possibly resulting in the failure of the part or parts within the brake assembly.

💥 The risk

A failure may reduce vehicle brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will install the cam tube support brackets on all of the rear axle wheel ends. Inspect the rear axle brake assembly and replace it if cracked. The recall is expected to begin during november 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.)
