- What it can cause

- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install new correctly torqued fasteners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 21, 2025. Owners may contact Kenworth's customer service at 1-425-828-5888 or Peterbilt's customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's numbers for this recall are 24KWK and 24PBK.

- 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 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 68 vehicles this is a small campaign: 74% of the 18,286 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 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 22 times before this, most recently in June 2024 as 24V433000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 25 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V700000 (fuel system, diesel), 26V022000 (steering), 25V569000 (electrical system), 25V436000 (exterior lighting).
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 December 3, 2024 as campaign 24V908000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
