Recall 10V-453: 2011 Kenworth T660, 2011 Kenworth T700 and 8 more
PACCAR INCORPORATED recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Oct 1, 2010, covering about 384 vehicles.
The problem
Paccar is recalling certain model year kenworth and peterbilt vehicles. A manufacturing defect in the seal supplied by a component manufacturer installed on the output shaft of the exhaust gas recirculation (Egr) valve actuator may cause eventual delamination of the seal. Delamination of the seal may allow engine oil to leak from the EGR valve onto exhaust components.
The risk
The leaking of engine oil onto hot exhaust components, such as when the engine is under significant load, may create the possibility of a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the EGR valve assembly on the subject vehicles equipped with the paccar mx engine. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on october 29, 2010. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 940-591-4196.
