Transport Canada Recall - 2019118 -
Brand(s)
Summary
Affected products
2020 | KENWORTH | W900, 2020 | KENWORTH | T680
Issue
On certain trucks, the rear axles may not contain any oil. This may result in accelerated bearing, hub and axle shaft wear. This wear could cause a separation of a wheel end (hub, wheel, and tires) from the truck.
Safety risk
The separation of a wheel end could increase the risk of a crash. Wheels that separate could also strike another road user.
Corrective actions
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their truck to a dealer to have the rear axle oil level inspected. If no oil is present, all wheel ends will be removed and bearing, hub and axle shafts inspected for damage. If excessive wear or heat damage is found, the parts will be replaced. The axles will be filled with the correct amount of oil.
