Electrical System
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain trucks equipped with cummins isc or paccar px8 engines, the jumper wire between the grid heater relay to the fuse block has been routed in such a way that the potential exists for it to rub against the radiator support.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The suspect wire is down stream of the fuse; this chaff point could cause the 250 amp charge wire to arc, potentially causing a fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect the routing of the jumper wire. If the wire is not routed correctly, it will be inspected for rubbing or chaffing and replaced if necessary free of charge. The recall began on june 22, 2007. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.

Power Train / Automatic Transmission
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
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.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If any of these conditions exists, the transmission will not automatically shift into neutral when left in drive with the parking brake set engaged. The vehicle could move without warning increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record

Vehicle Speed Control / Cruise Control
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
An incorrect switch was installed in the cruise control system on certain model t300 trucks.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
A light application of the brakes will not deactivate the cruise control and the system will have to be shut off by the dash switch. This could lead to unintended acceleration and a crash without warning.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Kenworth will install the correct sensor switch. The recall began on january 10, 2007. Owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.

Parking Brake / Driveline / Hydraulic
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
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.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If this bolt were to fail, the truck could roll away while parked without warning, which could result in a crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
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.
