Recall campaigns 6 of 7
15V309000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
15V271000
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
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.
14V008000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
If the engine harness is installed incorrectly, the truck may be able to be started with the transmission in gear, increasing the risk of a crash.
11V281000
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:QUICK RELEASE VALVE
THE SERVICE BRAKE OF A TOWED VEHICLE OR TRAILER MAY HAVE A DELAYED RELEASE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
11V157000
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SLACK ADJUSTERS
IF THE SLACK ADJUSTER HOUSING WERE TO FRACTURE, THE WHEEL BRAKE TO WHICH THE SLACK ADJUSTER HOUSING IS ATTACHED WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION, WHICH COULD INCREASE VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCES, AND IF MOUNTED ON THE STEER AXLE, COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO ONE SIDE DURING BRAKING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2011 KENWORTH T440s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
