2020 Kenworth T270 & 2020 Kenworth T370 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2020 Kenworth T270 and T370 vehicles. The brake treadle valves may have loose compression fittings, which can cause the air supply hose to separate from the valve.
💥 The risk
A separated hose may cause reduced braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake treadle valve hose connections for loose compression fittings, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began September 30, 2019. Owners may contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5888. PACCAR's number for this recall is 19KWD.
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.)
