Kenworth recall: Suspension

What is wrong

Kenworth is recalling certain model year 2010 t2000, t660, t800 and w900 vehicles manufactured between july 30, 2009 and september 18, 2009. The rear axle outer end hub may have not been primed with oil properly during the rear axle installation process. Potential lack of oil may cause the outer end bearing to heat up and/or seize, possibly resulting in the overheating of the wheel end.

What could happen

A wheel end fire may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the bearings, seals and will add oil to the outer end hub as well as inspect races and axle housing for damage and replacing as necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on may 24, 2010. Owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
