Paccar Incorporated: Parking Brake › Driveline › Hydraulic
Paccar Incorporated reported this defect to federal regulators on Sep 20, 2005 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 333. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
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 this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 05V417000.
