Kenworth recall: Power train
What is wrong
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2011-2014 model year Kenworth T440 vehicles manufactured March 10, 2010, through September 23, 2013 and equipped with Allison transmissions, Cummins Westport ISL-G engines, and NAMUX2 software. In the affected vehicles, the engine harness may have been installed incorrectly rendering the neutral start interlock inoperable.
What could happen
If the engine harness is installed incorrectly, the truck may be able to be started with the transmission in gear, increasing the risk of a crash.

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the connection on the engine harness, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin by early March 2014. Customers may contact PACCAR at 1-425-468-7400. Paccar's number for this recall is 14KWA.
