Recall 05V-417: 2005–2006 Kenworth T300, 2005–2006 Peterbilt 335

The problem

On certain trucks equipped with hydraulic brakes, there may be a defect in the anchor bolt of some bosch model #305 parking brake assemblies. A different coating was applied to the bolt which did not meet paccar specifications. This could reduce the fatigue life of the bolt and lead to premature failure.

The risk

If this bolt were to fail, the truck could roll away while parked without warning, which could result in a crash.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the parking brake assembly and replace the defective bolts free of charge. Peterbilt's recall began on november 4, 2005; and kenworth began on november 4, 2005. Owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201.
