STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY

The defect

The tie rod or drag link assembly may contain an improperly heat-treated ball stud, causing the ball stud to break.
What it can cause
A broken ball stud can cause a complete loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will inspect and replace the tie rod and drag link assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 6, 2024. 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 24KWG and 24PBG.

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 7,410 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 77% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

Peterbilt vehicles have been recalled over the steering 21 times before this, most recently in March 2024 as 24V233000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V022000 (steering), 25V569000 (electrical system), 25V436000 (exterior lighting), 25V353000 (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.
