Issue

Certain trucks were built without a secondary brake relay valve. As a result, the brake application may be delayed after pushing on the brake pedal. This could cause increased stopping distances.

Safety risk

Delayed brake application can cause increased stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective actions

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a Kenworth dealer to inspect the brake system, and add a second R12 brake relay valve, as required.
