Recall 07V-213: 2006–2008 Kenworth T300
PACCAR INCORPORATED recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on May 21, 2007, covering about 293 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trucks equipped with cummins isc or paccar px8 engines, the jumper wire between the grid heater relay to the fuse block has been routed in such a way that the potential exists for it to rub against the radiator support.
The risk
The suspect wire is down stream of the fuse; this chaff point could cause the 250 amp charge wire to arc, potentially causing a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the routing of the jumper wire. If the wire is not routed correctly, it will be inspected for rubbing or chaffing and replaced if necessary free of charge. The recall began on june 22, 2007. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
