2010 Kenworth T270 & 2010 Kenworth T370 recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Kenworth is recalling certain model year 2010 T270 and T370 trucks equipped with non-lms hubs. The spindle nut attaching the hub and bearing to the axle spindle (steer or drive) may have been over-torqued during the hub installation process.
💥 The risk
An over-torque of the spindle nut may cause the bearing to seize, possibly resulting in the overheating of the wheel end. As a result, a wheel end fire may occur.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the bearings free of charge. The spindle and hub will be inspected for scoring and replaced if necessary. The safety recall began on april 23, 2010. 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.)
