2010 Kenworth T2000 & 2010 Kenworth T660 + 2 more recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
Kenworth is recalling model year 2010 T2000, T800, T660 and W900S trucks manufactured between july 1 and october 23, 2009. The fasteners attaching the steering gear to the front drive bracket may have received insufficient torque during the installation process resulting in less than required clamp load.
💥 The risk
The insufficient clamp load may allow the fastener(s) to become loose and fall away from the vehicle resulting in road debris. If multiple fasteners were to become loose, the vehicle steering may wander, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and re-torque the steering gear mounting bolts free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during january 2010. 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.)
