For the 1994 Kenworth T800. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Kenworth been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

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.

1994 Kenworth T800 recalls, newest first

March 31, 2003NHTSA 03V12600045 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air

Summary
Certain trucks equipped with meritor p 18X7 brakes with 36" brake chambers fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) no. 121, "air brake systems." these trucks were manufactured with a combined air reservoir volume less than 12 times the combined volume of all service brake chambers.
Consequence
This does not meet the requirements of the standard.
Remedy
Dealers will add an additional tank or change one of the existing air tanks to a larger size. Owner notification began on may 5, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.

Equipment › Other › Labels

Summary
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with meritor FG941 steer axles. The gross axle weight rating (GAWR) was determined incorrectly and over-stated on the vehicle certification label. With the incorrect GAWR listed, these labels do not meet the certification requirements of part 567, "requirements for manufacturers of motor vehicles." vehicles will be remedied either by assigning the proper weight rating or, if possible, by changing the necessary components to meet the currently assigned weight rating.
Consequence
These vehicles would not be in compliance with federal regulations.
Remedy
Vehicles will be remedied either by assigning the proper weight rating or, if possible, by changing the necessary components to meet the currently assigned weight rating. Owner notification began June 22, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5000.

Seats

Summary
An interference condition between the back cushion and the recliner handle can cause an incomplete latching of the recliner mechanism.
Consequence
This condition can cause the seat back to "ratchet" rearward. Rearward movement of the seat back increases to where the seatback has moved to a fully reclined horizontal position. Complete loss of back support could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the seat and, if necessary, install a new recliner latch spring and handle.
