Kenworth recall: Power train
What is wrong
Kenworth is recalling certain model year 2010 t270 and t370 trucks equipped with non-lms hubs. The spindle nut attaching the hub and bearing to the axle spindle (steer or drive) may have been over-torqued during the hub installation process.
What could happen
An over-torque of the spindle nut may cause the bearing to seize, possibly resulting in the overheating of the wheel end. As a result, a wheel end fire may occur.
The fix
Dealers will replace the bearings free of charge. The spindle and hub will be inspected for scoring and replaced if necessary. The safety recall began on april 23, 2010. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
