PACCAR INCORPORATED recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Jul 14, 2008, covering about 1,189 vehicles.
The problem
Kenworth is recalling 1,189 my 2009 t2000, t600, t660, t800 and w900 trucks. The axle u-bolts attaching the axle to the drive beam on certain ag380 rear suspensions may have received insufficient fastener torque during the installation process.
The risk
The insufficient torque may allow the axle u-bolt to loosen if undetected, could impact long term suspension performance and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will have the axle u-bolt on the affected chassis re-torqued to factory specifications free of charge. The recall began on august 12, 2008. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
