Service brakes, air
- What is wrong
- Kenworth is recalling 3,423 my 2004-2009 t2000, t800,t600, w900 and t660 vehicles. Increased brake excitation in a certain vehicle configuration which includes bendix drum brakes, wide base low profile single tires, and an ag400 or ag460 rear suspension, due to its unique brake clocking and cam tube length, can cause fatigue and cracking to brake assembly components.
- Risk
- Cracking can cause a complete fracture of the cam tube, which could increase stopping distance and decrease parking brake hold capability.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the rear axle brakes assembly, replace cracked rear axle brakes assembly components where required, and install cam tube support brackets on all rear axle wheel ends free of charge. The recall is expected to begin or before july 25, 2009. Owner may contact kenworth at 1‑425‑828‑5440.

- What is wrong
- Certain trucks fail to comply with the brake timing regulatory requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." the brake valve was moved to the opposite rail, increasing the length of the air line, which in turn increased the wheelbase requiring a dual relay valve system. The vehicles were manufactured with a single valve system.
- Risk
- If stopping distance was limited, a vehicle crash could result.
- Remedy
- Dealers will convert the single relay valve to a dual relay valve system free of charge. The recall began on may 21, 2007. Owners may contact kenworth at 425‑828‑5440.

While driving to dealer left rear wheel brake assembly on front drive axel broke off of axel. Had truck been loaded and not bob tailing at the time this could have caused and accident as the failure rendered the brake totally in operative.
