2010 Kenworth T2000 & 2010 Kenworth T660 + 2 more recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Kenworth is recalling certain model year 2010 T2000, T660, T800 and W900 vehicles manufactured between july 30, 2009 and september 18, 2009. The rear axle outer end hub may have not been primed with oil properly during the rear axle installation process. Potential lack of oil may cause the outer end bearing to heat up and/or seize, possibly resulting in the overheating of the wheel end.
💥 The risk
A wheel end fire may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the bearings, seals and will add oil to the outer end hub as well as inspect races and axle housing for damage and replacing as necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on may 24, 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.)
