NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Kenworth dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

2009 Kenworth T600 recalls, newest first

March 24, 2011NHTSA 11V2030005,831 vehicles potentially affected

Engine and engine cooling

Summary: Paccar is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 kenworth C500, T2000, T600, and T660, as well as model year 2009-2011 peterbilt 387 and 388 trucks equipped with caterpillar C15 engine and manufactured from may 11, 2006, through September 17, 2010. Degradation of a combustion tube weld can cause radial heat impingement on the body which may burn through certain bodies used on C15 engines.
Consequence: This could result in a fire.
Remedy: Caterpillar is handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Please see caterpillar's defect report 11E-006. Caterpillar will replace the single piece combustion tube with a thick wall combustion tube which will not allow the heat to break through. This service will be performed free of charge. Due to a parts supply issue, owners will be notified by the end of April 2011 about the safety defect, and will then be notified again once the free remedy is available, currently estimated to be around late July 2011. Owners may contact caterpillar toll-free at 1-800-447-4986.

June 30, 2009NHTSA 09V2390003,423 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air

Summary: Kenworth is recalling 3,423 my 2004-2009 T2000, T800,T600, W900 and T660 vehicles. Increased brake excitation in a certain vehicle configuration which includes bendix drum brakes, wide base low profile single tires, and an AG400 or AG460 rear suspension, due to its unique brake clocking and cam tube length, can cause fatigue and cracking to brake assembly components.
Consequence: Cracking can cause a complete fracture of the cam tube, which could increase stopping distance and decrease parking brake hold capability.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the rear axle brakes assembly, replace cracked rear axle brakes assembly components where required, and install cam tube support brackets on all rear axle wheel ends free of charge. The recall is expected to begin or before July 25, 2009. Owner may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.

September 24, 2008NHTSA 08V485000130 vehicles potentially affected

Suspension

Summary: Paccar is recalling 130 my 2004-2009 T2000, T800, T600, W900 and T660 kenworth trucks built with an AG400 rear suspension, long stroke brake chambers, and wide base tires (super singles). These vehicles may develop an increase in lateral and vertical axle movement. This movement may cause part or parts of the brake assembly (brake cam tube support, brake chamber bracket, brake chamber, brake spider) to develop fatigue cracks, possibly resulting in the failure of the part or parts within the brake assembly.
Consequence: A failure may reduce vehicle brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will install the cam tube support brackets on all of the rear axle wheel ends. Inspect the rear axle brake assembly and replace it if cracked. The recall is expected to begin during November 2008. Owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.

Engine and engine cooling › Engine › Diesel

Summary: Paccar is recalling 4,883 my 2006-2009 kenworth T600, T660, T800, W900, T2000 and my 2008-2009 peterbilt 365, 367, 379, 384, 386, 387, 388 and 389 trucks. Inadequate stiffness of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) bracket could result in separation of the DPF from the chassis.
Consequence: A vehicle crash could occur if another vehicle strikes the DPF on the roadway.
Remedy: Paccar is working with caterpillar to repair these vehicles (please see 08E041). Owners may contact caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986 or kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.

July 14, 2008NHTSA 08V3140001,189 vehicles potentially affected

Suspension

Summary: Kenworth is recalling 1,189 my 2009 T2000, T600, T660, T800 and W900 trucks. The axle u-bolts attaching the axle to the drive beam on certain AG380 rear suspensions may have received insufficient fastener torque during the installation process.
Consequence: The insufficient torque may allow the axle u-bolt to loosen if undetected, could impact long term suspension performance and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will have the axle u-bolt on the affected chassis re-torqued to factory specifications free of charge. The recall began on August 12, 2008. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
