Kenworth T370 recalls
Risk: Safety systems that depend on the ECU (Automatic Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Active Cruise Control, and Collison Mitigation System) may not function properly or at all, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: Tie rod separation can result in a sudden loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Fastener failure can result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the driver unknowingly operates the vehicle without the ABS functioning, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Risk: Increased brake activation timing may lengthen vehicle stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A separated hose may cause reduced braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Unintended movement of a vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: Bearing failure can cause wheel separation, increasing the risk of crash.
Risk: A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A partial tread separation may increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: An engine that stalls without warning increases the risk of a crash.
Risk: As water leaks in, the wiper may cease to function on the 'intermittent' setting, reducing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the water may cause corrosion which, over time, may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: Brake drag may result in a wheel end fire.
Risk: If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.
Risk: The increase in engine speed may result in unintended acceleration, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
Risk: If the stop/tail/turn light is not illuminated, the driver's intentions would not be communicated, which increases the risk of a crash.
Risk: Unintended engine startup could cause injury to a person working in the engine compartment. Vehicles with standard transmissions may experience unexpected movement, which may result in personal injury or a crash.
