• Recall 2021287 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  Issue: on certain trucks, the driver may be able to turn off the daytime running lamps (drls) while driving. Canadian regulations require that drls must stay on while driving, unless the headlamps or fog lamps are switched on. Safety risk: driving without daytime running lights could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: paccar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the vehicle software.

• Recall 2020461 [Canada]: Brakes
  Issue: certain trucks were built with a standard rear brake abs modulator valve instead of a quick release valve. This could result in an increased stopping distance. Note: this recall only affects certain trucks equipped with wabco 6s/6m abs brake systems and drum brakes. Safety risk: an incorrect abs modulator valve can cause increased stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: paccar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a kenworth dealer to replace the standard rear brake abs modulator valves with quick release abs modulator valves.

• Recall 2018632 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  On certain trucks, the intermediate side marker lamp/turn signals do not comply with the requirements of canada motor vehicle safety standard (cmvss) 108 - lighting system and retroreflective devices. The intermediate side marker lamp/turn signals, mounted to the side extenders, do not include the required reflex reflectors. This could decrease vehicle conspicuity and potentially increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will install reflex reflective tape to the side extender near the intermediate side marker lamps.

• Recall 2018527 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain trucks built with a cummins x15 or isx15 engine equipped with nylon fuel lines and a banjo bolt on the fuel pump, a blockage in the fuel cooling system may cause a fuel line to burst. This could result in a significant fuel leak onto the roadway, which would create a road hazard for other motorists. Additionally, this condition could also cause an engine stall without warning, without the ability to restart the engine. Both of these conditions may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: cummins-authorized dealers will replace the affected nylon line with a steel line.

• Haldex brake chamber failures investigation # PE21018

  The office of defects investigation (odi) has opened this preliminary evaluation (pe) on haldex gold seal gC3030lcw air brake chambers installed in model year (my) 2015-2020 vehicles based on allegations of air loss resulting in vehicle fires. Odi is aware of eleven (11) vehicle owner questionnaires (voqs) that allege, without discernable warning to the driver, the failure of a haldex brake chamber. Seven (7) of those cases involved thermal events causing extensive fire damage to the vehicle and, in some cases, the cargo too. In at least one of the fires, a fire investigation report identified a wheel end fire as the origin. Analysis of other failed units found haldex brake chamber diaphragms punctured by the power spring.Odi discussed the voqs with the complainants. Through these discussions, odi learned that multiple fleets were having issues with numerous vehicles. Odi further learned that haldex agreed to replace brake chambers on some of the vehicles in these fleets.A preliminary evaluation has been opened to determine the frequency and scope of this failure.The odi reports cited above can be reviewed at:http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid using the following complaint identification numbers: 11110397, 11110394, 11184218, 11120375, 11110398, 11119976, 11110399, 11119975, 11120509, 11166776, and 11355468

At highway speeds the collision mitigation system will go off for no reason causing a sudden hard braking. This seems to be extremely dangerous if vehicle is traveling on wet or icy roads, in close quarter construction zones or if vehicle happens to be in a turn. Unfortunately if another vehicle was following too close would be an accident, which i have heard has happened. I have taken truck to kenworth service twice and they said there is nothing they can do. It is a required system and are just very sensitive. I see nothing good about this system. When i come upon an actual hazard it doesn't go off. It is stressful to drive and wonder at any given time if the hard break and lights are going to go off and hope you are not around other vehicles that would also be affected by this unexpected stopping of a 80000 pound vehicle. Hopefully drivers will not find out what would happen of this occurred on wet or iced roads.

Unit driving down road and brake chamber failed causing brakes to slowly apply without operator being aware until seen smoke coming from drive axle brakes. The low air pressure light did not illuminate, stayed high enough not to illuminate a low air warning. 2 independent fire inspections proved this was a haldex brake chamber failure. The chamber was inspected and found it is in the range where haldex had manufacturing defects of the power coil in the parking chamber, haldex confirmed they have an issue with the 3030 chamber, and not issuing a recall even though public safety as risk. Spring brake broke and punctured the rubber diaphragm causing the driver to loose control of the braking system and causing another total loss of truck and trailer. Entire interstate had to be shutdown for a long period of time. Causing more risk to public safety the haldex chamber has a fatal design flaw that haldex has admitted to and can lead to loss of braking and brake fires, causing tire explosions and cargo explosions, when the spring compresses the power coat protective coating is damaged and causes the power spring to rust this rust then causes the spring to brake and puncture the internal diaphram of the chamber. Haldex is also aware that the metal used in making the spring cannot handle the pressure forced upon it without breaking either by tooling causing marks and fatigue in the metal itself. Nhtsa has also done its testing and confirmed all of these finding as well.

My father was fueling this brand new truck with cng (compressed natural gas) when one of the tanks exploded. The truck was stationary at the ang (american natural gas) station in buttonwillow california at the intersection of interstate 5 and hwy 58. My father is in critical condition at the icu in ucla with multiple broke bones as well as bleeding and swelling on his brain. I have attached a photo of the truck.

The tractor comes with no emergency trailer brakes handle in the cab like the rest of trucks it make it very dangerous while hauling 80,000 pounds and the service brakes takes forever to stop the truck also the top of the cab at the joints is leaking water not the first to complain bout this problem with the 2019 kw they say that's how they make trucks now without the trailer brakes handle i just have to use the service brakes
