STEERING:CRITICAL FASTENERS

The defect
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Kenworth T270, T370, T440, T470, T660, T680, T880, T800, W900, W990; and 2018-2020 Peterbilt 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 389, 520, 567, and 579 vehicles. The Dana D-Series axle steer arm fasteners that attach the steering arm to the steering knuckle may fail.
What it can cause
Fastener failure can result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
What the dealer does
Dealers will replace and torque the steer arm fasteners, at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 8, 2022. Owners may contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5888 and Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's numbers for this recall are 22 PBB and 22 KWB.
NHTSA's note
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

Which vehicles

A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares

At 17,641 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 83% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Peterbilt vehicles have been recalled over the steering 15 times before this, most recently in January 2021 as 21V004000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 56 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 34 complaints with NHTSA, 16 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2018, 3 years before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V145000 (service brakes, air), 23V717000 (seat belts), 22V939000 (suspension), 21V906000 (service brakes, air).

Check your own car

A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
