Kenworth affected trucks have brake chambers that take longer to apply or release the brakes than the required time limit.
The short version
PACCAR Incorporated reported a problem with the service brakes. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected trucks have brake chambers that take longer to apply or release the brakes than the required time limit. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
Brakes that take longer to apply may lengthen the distance needed to stop the truck, increasing the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will modify the air brake system, free of charge.
