Paccar Incorporated if the hood strut were to separate, the safety latch may not engage.
The short version
PACCAR INCORPORATED reported a problem with the hood latch. Here is what owners need to know.
IF THE HOOD STRUT WERE TO SEPARATE, THE SAFETY LATCH MAY NOT ENGAGE.
A NON-OPERATIONAL SAFETY LATCH MAY NOT BE DETECTED BY AN OPERATOR AND THE HOOD MAY UNEXPECTEDLY CLOSE, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
KENWORTH DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE HOOD STRUT FOR THE SPECIFIC DEFECTIVE LOT CODE AND IF THE STRUT IS WITHIN THE LOT CODE, THE STRUT WILL BE REPLACED, free of charge.
