SEAT BELTS
- The defect
- PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2020 Kenworth T660, 2018-2024 Kenworth T800 and W900 vehicles. An additional spacer may have been added to the joint that connects the seat to the seat belt tether and buckle, causing an unsecured connection.
- What it can cause
- An unsecured seat belt connection may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and remove the additional spacer and replace the bolt, as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed March 20, 2024. Owners may contact PACCAR's customer service at 1-425-828-5888. PACCAR's number for this recall is 23KWK.
- 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 3,841 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 72% 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 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Kenworth vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 4 times before this, most recently in December 2018 as 18V870000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V908000 (steering), 24V145000 (service brakes, air), 24V043000 (steering), 22V782000 (steering).
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.
Filed by PACCAR Incorporated with NHTSA on October 26, 2023 as campaign 23V717000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
