Quarter fender failures investigation as of 20200921
The office of defects investigation (odi) is opening this preliminary evaluation (pe) on model year (my) 2017 - 2019 peterbilt and kenworth vehicles equipped with quarter fenders. Odi has received reports with allegations of quarter fender failures resulting in road debris or collateral damage to the subject vehicle. Peterbilt and kenworth vehicles are highly customizable, with several options for fenders.Quarter fenders are approximately two feet by two feet square and can be made of either plastic or metal.N some events the plastic fenders have fractured leaving only the mounting tube. The separated pieces of plastic or metal fenders pose a safety risk to both the subject vehicle and other motorists and pedestrians who may be struck by the separated fender.Odi is aware of one (1) consumer complaint alleging multiple separations. One such separation reportedly damaged the air brake system. Odi is aware of additional fleet reports of quarter fender failures.During complainant interviews, odi learned that the alleged defect in the plastic fenders may be limited to a specific production period. Fleet interviews indicated that only factory equipment fenders fractured, and replacements performed better.A preliminary evaluation has been opened to determine the frequency and severity of this failure mechanism and understand the conditions that might influence this failure on the subject vehicles.The odi report cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid using complaint identification number 11349017.
