- Summary
- Paccar is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 trucks equipped with TRW steering shafts. The circumferential weld around the steering shaft tube that welds the splined tube to the non-splined tube may be mislocated. Mislocation of the circumferential weld may allow the splined tube and non-splined tube to rotate relative to one another during a low speed, high torque turn, possibly resulting in a separation of the two tubes.
- Consequence
- A separation of the splined and non-splined tubes would cause a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the steering shaft using a weld placement gauge provided by TRW. Any steering shaft found to have been welded improperly will be replaced free of charge. The safety recall began on July 30, 2010. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 940-591-4196.
- Notes
- Kenworth's recall campaign number is 10KW-f & peterbilt recall no. 0610-D. Owners 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.

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.
