2003 Peterbilt 330 recalls, newest first

October 20, 2003NHTSA 03V4100001,187 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Linkages › Knuckle › Spindle › Arm

Summary: On certain trucks equipped with dana spicer integral knuckle and steer arm assemblies, the steer axle assemblies may have a longitudinal crack in the steer arm.
Consequence: If the crack should propagate over time, the ball could become loose resulting in a loss of steering, which could result in a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the knuckle and steer arm assemblies. Owner notification began January 5, 2004. Owners should contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201.

August 22, 2003NHTSA 03V3060001,858 vehicles potentially affected

Engine and engine cooling › Cooling system › Fan

Summary: On certain trucks equipped with caterpillar C7 or 3126E 2002 engines and horton fan hubs, the fan hub mounting bolts can fail resulting in the hub and fan assembly separating from the engine. This loss of clamp load causes unwanted vibration in the assembly that leads to bolt failure.
Consequence: If the bolts fail, the complete hub and fan assembly could separate from the engine resulting in equipment damage and/or personal injury.
Remedy: Dealers will add a rigid spacer across the two lower mounting holes of the fan hub to maintain the clamping force and replace all the bolts and washers. Owner notification began October 22, 2003. Owners should contact peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201.

August 6, 2003NHTSA 03V288000132 vehicles potentially affected

Power train › Axle hubs

Summary: On certain heavy duty trucks, the locking tab that locks the outer spindle nut onto the spindle was not engaged or properly bent over.
Consequence: Failure to properly engage the locking feature into the nut could cause the nut to loosen which will eventually cause the wheel bearing to over heat and fail if undetected. If the loose nut is not detected, the outer end (tire, wheel and hub assembly) could become separated from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the hubs to determine if the locking tabs are properly bent. If the locking tabs are not bent, then dealers will inspect the appropriate components for premature wear and replace such components as required and properly secure the retaining nut by bending over the locking tab. Owner notification began September 17, 2003. Owners should contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 940-591-4201.
