Recall 04V-169: 2003–2004 Kenworth T300
PACCAR INCORPORATED recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Apr 2, 2004, covering about 2,586 vehicles.
The problem
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.
The risk
If the bolts fail, the complete hub and fan assembly could separate from the engine resulting in equipment damage and/or personal injury.
The fix
Dealers will install a new journal bracket. The recall began may 11, 2004. Owners should contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.
