Kenworth seat belt buckle assemblies on these vehicles may have been glued and not sewn during manufacturing, possibly causing the assembly to come apart under load, such as in the event of a crash.
The short version
PACCAR Incorporated reported a problem with the front buckle assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
The seat belt buckle assemblies on these vehicles may have been glued and not sewn during manufacturing, possibly causing the assembly to come apart under load, such as in the event of a crash.
If the seat belt buckle assembly separates, it can prevent the occupant from being properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat belt buckle assemblies that were not sewn, free of charge.
