PACCAR Incorporated "Paccar" is recalling certain model year 2014 Kenworth T170, T270, T370, T440, T470, T660, T680, T700, T800, T880, C500 and W900 trucks manufactured July 1, 2013 through September 17, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the plastic housing of the Stop/Tail/Turn "STT" lamp can shrink and allow the light bulb to fall out of the mounted retention ring. As such, the Stop/Tail/Turn light would not be illuminated, and the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" No. 108 "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
If the stop/tail/turn light is not illuminated, the driver's intentions would not be communicated, which increases the risk of a crash.
Kenworth will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective STT lamps with new lamps. The recall began on February 4, 2014. Customers may contact Paccar at 1-425-468-7400. Kenworth's number for this recall is 13KWM.
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.
