## What is wrong

ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, A LOCKING TAB IN THE HOOD LOCK CYLINDER WAS IMPROPERLY LOCATED PREVENTING THE CYLINDER LOCK FROM ENGAGING.  THE HOOD LOCK CYLINDER IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE HOOD ONCE IT IS RAISED FOR ACCESS TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.


## What can happen

IF THE LOCK DOES NOT ENGAGE THIS COULD RESULT IN THE HOOD CLOSING WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO SOMEONE WORKING UNDER THE HOOD.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE HOOD LOCK CYLINDER AND REMOVE AND REPLACE ANY DEFECTIVE HOOD LOCK CYLINDERS.  THE RECALL BEGAN JANUARY 23, 2005.  OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT KENWORTH AT 1\-425\-828\-5440.
