NHTSA recall campaign
15V272000
What was wrong
Defect
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2016 Kenworth T660, T680, T800, T880, and W900 trucks manufactured February 1, 2015, to April 20, 2015. During assembly, the affected vehicles did not undergo the rear wheel mounting torque verification process, and thus the rear wheels may be loose.
Risk
If the rear wheel lug nuts are undertorqued, the wheels may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Kenworth will notify owners, and dealers will verify that the rear wheel lug nuts are correctly tightened, free of charge. The recall began on July 1, 2015. Owners may contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000. Kenworth's number for this recall is 15KWG.
