PACCAR INCORPORATED recall for steering, reported to NHTSA on Jul 8, 2009, covering about 2,096 vehicles.
The problem
Paccar is recalling 2,096 my 2009 kenworth and peterbilt vehicles equipped with trw steering shafts. Mislocation of a circumferential weld may allow the splined tube and non-splined tube to rotate relative to one another during a low speed, high torque turn, possibly resulting in a separation of the two tubes.
The risk
A separation of the splined and non-splined tubes could cause a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the steering shaft using a weld placement gauge and miswelded steering shaft will be replaced free of charge. The recall began july 31, 2009. Owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.
