The short version
PACCAR Incorporated reported a problem with the service brakes, air. Here is what owners need to know.
The brake control airline may be the incorrect size, resulting in an imbalance in the service brake application timing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air brake systems."
An incorrectly sized airline may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Kenworth will notify owners, and dealers will modify the air brake system with updated brake piping, free of charge.
