Recall 02V-033: 2000 Kenworth C500, 2000 Kenworth T600 and 2 more
PACCAR, INCORPORATED recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Feb 4, 2002, covering about 44 vehicles.
The problem
On some heavy duty trucks equipped with alcoa fujikura ltd. (Afl) power distribution boxes (Pd box), the pd boxes were manufactured with insufficient torque applied to the nut of the main power feed-through stud.
The risk
Insufficient torque can lead to (1) electrical arcing of the wires inside of the pd box, or (2) an interrupted power supply to the vehicle's electrical system, either of which can lead to a loss of vehicle electrical power and possibly vehicle control without warning.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and tighten the nut on the main power feed-through stud. Owner notification began february 25, 2002. 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.
