Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

PARKING BRAKE:DRIVELINE:HYDRAULIC

Sep 20, 2005
333 units potentially affected
The defect: ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES, THERE MAY BE A DEFECT IN THE ANCHOR BOLT OF SOME BOSCH MODEL #305 PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. A DIFFERENT COATING WAS APPLIED TO THE BOLT WHICH DID NOT MEET PACCAR SPECIFICATIONS. THIS COULD REDUCE THE FATIGUE LIFE OF THE BOLT AND LEAD TO PREMATURE FAILURE.
The risk: IF THIS BOLT WERE TO FAIL, THE TRUCK COULD ROLL AWAY WHILE PARKED WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE BOLTS FREE OF CHARGE. PETERBILT'S RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 4, 2005; AND KENWORTH BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 4, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KENWORTH AT 1-425-828-5440 OR PETERBILT AT 1-940-591-4201.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
