   Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2008-2019 Peterbilt 330, 335, 337, 340, 348, 365, 367, 384, 386, 387, 388, 389, 567, 579 and 587 vehicles and 2008-2020 Kenworth T170, T270, T370, T660, T680, T800, T880, and W900 vehicles equipped with NAMUX Software. In the event that the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) loses battery and/or ignition power to the controller, the dash warning light for the ABS may not illuminate to warn the driver of the loss of ABS. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems," and 136, "Electronic Stability Control System on Heavy Vehicles."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the driver unknowingly operates the vehicle without the ABS functioning, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will update the NAMUX software within the cab control module, free of charge. PACCAR issued owners an interim notification on June 4, 2020. The recall began May 26, 2020. Owners may contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5888 or Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 20pbc AND 20KWB.

   Report filed by PACCAR Incorporated. Manufacturer campaign number 20pbc AND 20KWB. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 26 May 2020.

2. 08V128000Received 21 Mar 2008. 1,043 units.

   Parking Brake / Conventional / Air

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Paccar is recalling 1,043 my 2008-2009 kenworth c500, t2000,t660, t800 and w900 trucks equipped with bendix mv-3 dash control valves. The molded valve body has an incorrect core pin in the injection mold causing the valve body to be oversized in the double check valve area. This condition can allow the rubber double check valve to become lodged in the body opening under certain circumstances.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged double check valve thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing reduced ability for modulating the service emergency brakes. In such an event, the operator should observe an air leak, indications of low air pressure via the primary and secondary air gauges, and audible and visual low air pressure warning alarms. A vehicle crash is possible if these warnings are not heeded.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the bendix mv-3 dash control valves free of charge. The recall began on april 14, 2008. Owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-4196.

   Report filed by PACCAR INCORPORATED. Manufacturer campaign number 08KW3 308E. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 14 Apr 2008.

3. 08V104000Received 10 Mar 2008. 318 units.

   Trailer Hitches

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Paccar is recalling 318 my 2007-2009 kenworth t800, w900, and peterbilt 357, 365, 367, 378, 379, 384, 385, 386,388, and 389 trucks equipped with premier trailer hitch assemblies. The pintle hitch assemblies may have been manufactured in a manner resulting in a reduction of fatigue strength of the pivot pins.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This reduction of fatigue strength could cause the pivot pin to crack and eventually break, causing the trailer to detach from the truck while in motion, which could cause a crash that could result in personal injury or death.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the potentially defective pivot pin free of charge. The recall began on april 18, 2008. Owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.

   Report filed by PACCAR INCORPORATED. Manufacturer campaign number 08KW4 & 208D. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 18 Apr 2008.

4. 08V065000Received 7 Feb 2008. 6,169 units.

   Latches/Locks/Linkages / Doors / Latch

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Paccar is recalling 6,169 my 2008 kenworth t300, t660, t800, t2000, w900 and c500 vehicles and my 2008-2009 peterbilt models 365, 367, 384, 387, 388, 389 and 389 kits. Certain door latch assemblies on these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 206, 'door locks and door retention components." the rotor in some of these door latch assemblies did not receive the proper heat treatment and may be soft.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   In the event of a crash, force could cause the rotor to crack and the door would not have primary or secondary closing security which could possibly lead to injury of the vehicle occupant.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Paccar is working with trimark and will inspect and replace the door latch if it is found to be defective. The recall began on march 14, 2008. Owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.

   Report filed by PACCAR INCORPORATED. Manufacturer campaign number 08KW1/108A. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 14 Mar 2008.
