DEFECT #1 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS


Posted on: 2015-07-22
Description
Paccar incorporated (paccar) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 kenworth t440, t470, t660, t680, and t880 trucks manufactured january 14, 2010, to may 22, 2015, and equipped with hid headlamps and the option for daytime running lamps (drl).  The drls are required to deactivate when the hazard warning lights are activated, however, the drls on these vehicles override the hazard flashing functionality after the brake pedal is pushed for more than two seconds.  Normal hazard flashing functionality returns once the service brake is released.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no.  108, lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.

Consequence
If the hazard warning lamps are overridden by the drl, oncoming vehicles may fail to be warned, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Kenworth will notify owners, and dealers will update the cab controller software, free of charge.  The recall began on september 167, 2015.  Owners may contact kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000.  Kenworth's number for this recall is 15kwl.

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
