Recall 07V-090: 2006–2007 Kenworth C500, 2006–2007 Kenworth T2000 and 2 more
PACCAR INCORPORATED recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Mar 9, 2007, covering about 65 vehicles.
The problem
Certain trucks fail to comply with the brake timing regulatory requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." the brake valve was moved to the opposite rail, increasing the length of the air line, which in turn increased the wheelbase requiring a dual relay valve system. The vehicles were manufactured with a single valve system.
The risk
If stopping distance was limited, a vehicle crash could result.
The fix
Dealers will convert the single relay valve to a dual relay valve system free of charge. The recall began on may 21, 2007. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
