A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.
By component
| 03V168000 | 2003-05-05. TRAILER HITCHES:FIFTH WHEEL ASSEMBLY. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH JOST INTERNATIONAL JSK 37U SERIES FIFTH WHEELS, A FATIGUE CRACK CAN DEVELOP IN THE BRACKET PIN WELD UNDER CERTAIN LOADING CONDITIONS. Built 2001-07-18 to 2003-05-15. |
|---|---|
| 03V045000 | 2003-02-13. EXTERIOR LIGHTING. 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. Built 2002-05-23 to 2003-02-14. |
| 02V318001 | 2002-11-27. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR 3126E HYDRAULICALLY CONTROLLED ELECTRONICALLY ACTUATED UNIT INJECTED DIESEL ENGINES WITH HIGH EFFICIENCY PUMPS (HEP8). THE PUMP COMPONENTS MAY EXPERIENCE A HIGH PRESSURE SEAL FAILURE WHICH CAN RESULT IN A SHORT PERIOD OF ROUGH RUNNING AND SUBSEQUENT ENGINE STALL DUE TO A LOSS OF INJECTION ACTUATION PRESSURE. Built 2002-08-29 to 2002-10-10. |
| 02V241001 | 2002-09-10. SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:CONTROLS:HAND CONTROL/VALVE. ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX TC-7 TRAILER CONTROL HAND-OPERATED VALVE WITH PUSH-TO-CONNECT FITTINGS. THE DELIVERY PORT IN THE VALVE BODY MAY BE PARTIALLY BLOCKED DUE TO A PROBLEM DURING THE MOLDING PROCESS. Built 2002-05-11 to 2002-10-16. |
| 2003197 | 2003-08-25. Other. On certain vehicles, the cooling fan hub mounting bolts could fail resulting in the hub and fan assembly separating from the engine, which may result in equipment damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealer will replace the fan hub mounting bracket by removing the fan hub and rebuilding the assembly with the newly designed mounting bracket. |
|---|---|
| 2003121 | 2003-05-05. Other. On certain vehicles, fatigue cracks can initiate in the weld joining the bracket pin to its mounting flange on the fifth wheel assembly. Weld failures could lead to the loss of the pin and the potential separation of the fifth wheel top plate from its mounting structure without warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the bracket pins. |
| 2003034 | 2003-02-13. Lights And Instruments. On certain vehicles a rubber grommet from the trailer light line connector is missing. Kenworth chassis equipped with trailer connections are experiencing corrosion at the 7-way trailer connector with the light line because of the missing grommet, which causes intermittent flashing/flickering of the trailer lights. The elimination of this grommet allowed water to enter the connection and begin corroding, which can cause a short and/or possible fire hazard. Correction: Dealer will install the missing grommet and if a connector is found defective, it will be replaced. |
| 2002161 | 2002-09-11. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the delivery port inside Bendix trailer hand control brake valves may be partially blocked due to a problem during the molding process. Such a blockage may slow the delivery and exhaust of air to and from the trailer brakes when they are operated by this hand control valve which may result in delayed trailer brake application and release. Correction: The dealer will inspect and replace defective valves. |
| 2001216 | 2001-08-27. Steering. Certain Kenworth vehicles manufactured between March 1996 and September 11,2001 model year T300 trucks equipped with 10,000 or 12,000 pound Dana front axles. A condition called brake "sprag", which is characterized by a noise at the end of an applied stop, can develop in the brake system. This noise is the result of a pulsation of the brake lining with the brake drum during brake application. These noise vibrations occur at the resonant frequency of the front axle cross-tube assembly and cause unusually high strain forces in the threaded portion of the tie rod ends that are connected to the cross-tube. Failure of the tie rod end can cause loss of steering control and possibly result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake lining on the front axle of each vehicle with a lining made of a different composition. In addition, the tie rod ends will be replaced free of charge. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
