2003 Kenworth K100E recalls

Recall 03V-045: Exterior Lighting

Reported Feb 13, 2003 · 9,890 vehicles affected · PACCAR INCORPORATED

Problem: Certain trucks equipped with trailer connections fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standards (Fmvss) no. 121, "air brake systems," and no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." the supplier removed a rubber grommet from the trailer light line connector. The vehicles are experiencing corrosion at the 7-way trailer connection. This causes intermittent flashing/flickering of the trailer lights.

Risk: This could cause an electrical short and/or possible fire hazard.

Fix: Dealers will install the missing grommet on all affected chassis. If a connector is found defective, it will be replaced with a new connector. Owner notification is began on march 14, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.
