2022 Kenworth T680 recalls
Trucks May Lose Drive Power Suddenly, Raising Crash Risk
Certain Kenworth T680 and Peterbilt 520, 579 and T680 trucks may have high voltage (HV) contactors that open unexpectedly.
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.
Digital Display May Freeze, Hiding Speed and Warning Lights
Certain 2022 Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks may have an instrument cluster digital display that freezes and stops showing critical safety information, such as vehicle speed and warning lights.
Mud Flap Can Wear Through Fuel Tank, Risking Spills
This recall covers certain 2022 and 2023 Kenworth T680 tractor trailers.
Steering Gear May Fracture, Causing Loss of Steering Control
Steering gears on certain trucks may have been assembled incorrectly.
Methane alarm may fail if power is lost, risking fire
