- 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.

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.
