Kenworth affected trucks, equipped with paccar mx-13 engines and Delco-Remy 40si alternators, have alternator charge cables that may chafe against a formed metal freon discharge line.
The short version
PACCAR Incorporated reported a problem with the electrical system alternator/generator/regulator. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected trucks, equipped with PACCAR MX-13 engines and Delco-Remy 40SI alternators, have alternator charge cables that may chafe against a formed metal freon discharge line.
If the alternator cable rubs through its insulation, an electrical short may occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will reroute the alternator charge cable away from the metal freon line, free of charge.
