💥 Crash riskNHTSA 09V415📅 Oct 27, 2009

2009–2010 Kenworth T2000 & 2009–2010 Kenworth T660 + 2 more recall: powertrain & transmission

⚠️ What's wrong

Kenworth is recalling model year 2009 through 2010 T2000, T800, T660 and W900 trucks manufactured between november 12, 2008 and september 30, 2009. The axle u-bolts attaching the axle to the suspension leaf spring on certain AG400L rear suspensions may have received insufficient fastener torque during the installation process. The insufficient torque may allow the axle u-bolt to become loose, which may cause vibration in the rear suspension.

💥 The risk

If multiple fasteners were to become loose, the rear axle may shift relative to the rear suspension leaf spring, which CAN result in loss of control and a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will inspect the axle u-bolts for visible defects, including bent and/or smashed threads and re-torque the axle u-bolts to factory specifications. The recall began on november 4, 2009. Owners may contact kenworth at 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.)
