The problem

The risk

A separated hose may cause reduced braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake treadle valve hose connections for loose compression fittings, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began September 30, 2019. Owners may contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5888. PACCAR's number for this recall is 19KWD.
