2005–2009 Kenworth T660 & 2005–2009 Kenworth T800 + 2 more recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Paccar is recalling 140 my 2005, 2007-2009 T800, W900, and T660 trucks. The caliper mounting fasteners attaching the air disc brake caliper assembly to the torque plate may have received insufficient torque during the installation process. The insufficient torque may allow the air disc brake caliper assembly to become loose and possibly separate from the vehicle.

💥 The risk

This could result in reduced braking capacity and also a road debris hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will inspect air disc brake caliper assemblies and replace the caliper mounting fasteners and torque properly. This service will be performed free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. 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.)
