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.

Risk. IF THIS BOLT WERE TO FAIL, THE TRUCK COULD ROLL AWAY WHILE PARKED WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

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.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
