SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
If the hazard warning lamps are overridden by the DRL, oncoming vehicles may fail to be warned, increasing the risk of a crash.
If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
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.
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.
The absence of a slip-resistant surface could cause a person to slip and become injured while climbing into or out of the cab.
Two 2013 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.
