Recall 10V-535: 2009–2011 Kenworth T660, 2009–2011 Kenworth T700 and 2 more
PACCAR INCORPORATED recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Oct 27, 2010, covering about 417 vehicles.
The problem
Paccar is recalling certain model year kenworth t660, t700, t800 and w900 vehicles manufactured from december 22, 2008, through august 2, 2010, and equipped with ag400l air disc brakes. The air disc brake caliper could be installed on the wrong side of the drive axle potentially causing interference with the suspension bracket and the rear suspension as the outermost brake pads wear and the floating caliper moves inboard.
The risk
As this interference gets larger, this could eventually lead to reduced braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will verify the correct orientation of the brake caliper and perform the necessary repair free of charge. The safety recall began on november 24, 2010. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
