By component
| 07V107000 | 2007-03-16. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE WIRING, PARTS, OR TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING REQUIRED FOR THE AUTO NEUTRAL FEATURE TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED WERE EITHER NOT INSTALLED, CONNECTED, OR PROGRAMMED PROPERLY. Built 2002-02-06 to 2007-02-26. |
|---|---|
| 04V169000 | 2004-04-02. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR C7 OR 3126E 2002 ENGINES AND HORTON FAN HUBS, THE FAN HUB MOUNTING BOLTS CAN FAIL, RESULTING IN THE HUB AND FAN ASSEMBLY SEPARATING FROM THE ENGINE. THIS LOSS OF CLAMP LOAD CAUSES UNWANTED VIBRATION IN THE ASSEMBLY THAT LEADS TO BOLT FAILURE. Built 2002-09-01 to 2004-02-09. |
| 03V288000 | 2003-08-06. POWER TRAIN:AXLE HUBS. ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS, THE LOCKING TAB THAT LOCKS THE OUTER SPINDLE NUT ONTO THE SPINDLE WAS NOT ENGAGED OR PROPERLY BENT OVER. Built 2003-04-07 to 2003-04-18. |
| 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. |
| 2007112 | 2007-04-10. Powertrain. On certain trucks, the wiring, parts, or transmission programming required for the auto neutral feature to function as designed were either not installed, connected, or programmed properly. If any of these conditions exists, the transmission will not automatically shift into Neutral when left in Drive with the parking brake engaged. The vehicle could move without warning increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if needed, make the necessary repairs. |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 2003187 | 2003-08-07. Suspension. On certain vehicles, the locking tab that locks the outer spindle nut onto the spindle was not engaged or properly bent over. Failure to properly engage the locking feature into the nut may cause the nut to loosen which will eventually cause the wheel bearing to over heat and fail if undetected. If the loose nut is not detected, the outer end (tire, wheel and hub assembly) could become separated from the vehicle. Correction: Dealer will inspect the hubs to determine if the locking tabs are properly bent. |
| 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. |
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.
