Paccar Incorporated retaining pins securing the hood strut lock tube to the hood strut assembly may become loose and fall out allowing the lock tube to rotate on the strut assembly.
The short version
PACCAR INCORPORATED reported a problem with the hood latch. Here is what owners need to know.
THE RETAINING PINS SECURING THE HOOD STRUT LOCK TUBE TO THE HOOD STRUT ASSEMBLY MAY BECOME LOOSE AND FALL OUT ALLOWING THE LOCK TUBE TO ROTATE ON THE STRUT ASSEMBLY. IN ITS NORMAL OPERATION THE SAFETY LATCH FEATURE IS AUTOMATICALLY SET AND IT PREVENTS THE HOOD FROM CLOSING.
A NON-OPERATIONAL SAFETY LATCH FEATURE MAY NOT BE DETECTED BY AN OPERATOR INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR VEHICLE DAMAGE SHOULD THE HOOD UNEXPECTEDLY CLOSE.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PIVOT DISC AND LOCK TUBE RETAINING PINS WITH A REVISED PIVOT DISC AND CAP SCREWS, free of charge.
