On certain trucks equipped with a TRW tilt/telescoping steering column, the tilt locking mechanism on the steering column may disengage.

Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary
On certain trucks equipped with a TRW tilt/telescoping steering column, the tilt locking mechanism on the steering column may disengage. This could prevent the steering column from locking in to predetermined positions.
Consequence
Should the locking mechanism disengage, the tilting travel of the column would be unrestricted. This unrestricted travel allows the steering wheel to impact the dash and could limit the movement of the steering wheel potentially resulting in difficulty maneuvering the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the tilt locking mechanism with a revised design that incorporates a new bracket for restraining the tilting mechanism. The recall began on December 22, 2006. Owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.

Kenworth recall no. 06KW2.CUSTOMERS may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.
