Trucks May Lose Drive Power Suddenly, Raising Crash Risk

Braking and stability systems may fail, raising crash risk
The electronic control unit (ECU) that runs the anti-lock brakes, traction control, electronic stability control, active cruise control and collision mitigation system can receive electrical noise or a weak signal.
Gear Shifter Connection Can Fail, Disabling Truck After Stop
A right-hand gear shifter stalk connector may have been improperly crimped, which can cause a loss of communication between the gear shifter and the transmission.
Insufficient Air Tank Volume Can Weaken Brakes
Certain Kenworth trucks were built with air tanks that do not hold enough air for the brake system.
Methane alarm may fail if power is lost, risking fire
Certain heavy-duty trucks have a wiring defect in the methane detection system.
Engine Flywheel Can Detach, Causing Power Loss
The capscrews attaching the flywheel to the crankshaft may have been improperly torqued, so the flywheel can come loose from the engine.
Trucks May Take Longer to Release Brakes, Raising Crash Risk
