Recall Lawsuit

An axle assembly defect has prompted a recall of 914 Kenworth trucks, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Monday. The recall involves 2009 through 2010 T2000, T800, T660 and W900 models.  The U-bolts connecting the axle to the suspension leaf spring may not have received enough fastener torque during installation, which may allow the bolts to come loose.  This can cause vibration in the rear suspension and if multiple bolts come loose, the rear axle could shift resulting in a loss of control and possibly a crash. Dealers will inspect the axle U-bolts and make the appropriate repairs. Owners may contact Kenworth at 425-828-5440.
