2005 Peterbilt 335 recalls

Recall 05V-417: Parking Brake

Reported Sep 20, 2005 · 333 vehicles affected · PACCAR INCORPORATED

Problem: On certain trucks equipped with hydraulic brakes, there may be a defect in the anchor bolt of some bosch model #305 parking brake assemblies. A different coating was applied to the bolt which did not meet paccar specifications. This could reduce the fatigue life of the bolt and lead to premature failure.

Risk: If this bolt were to fail, the truck could roll away while parked without warning, which could result in a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the parking brake assembly and replace the defective bolts free of charge. Peterbilt's recall began on november 4, 2005; and kenworth began on november 4, 2005. Owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201.
