2011 Kenworth T660 & 2011 Kenworth T700 recall: door latches & locks
⚠️ What's wrong
Kenworth is recalling certain model year 2011 T660 and T700 tractor trailers manufactured between august 9, 2010, and november 4, 2010. The safety LATCH feature that keeps the hood of the vehicle from closing after a user opens the hood may fail to operate.
💥 The risk
Failure of the safety LATCH feature may cause the hood to unexpectedly close while open, increasing the risk of personal injury and/or vehicle damage.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the dual magnets with a single magnet on the safety LATCH. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on february 28, 2011. 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.)
