Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
PACCAR is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 trucks equipped with TRW steering shafts. The circumferential weld that joins the splined tube to the non-splined tube on the steering shaft may be mislocated, which could allow these tubes to rotate relative to one another during a low-speed, high-torque turn and potentially separate.
If the splined and non-splined tubes separate, the driver would lose steering control and face an increased risk of a vehicle crash. Dealers will inspect the steering shaft using a weld placement gauge provided by TRW, and any steering shaft found to have been welded improperly will be replaced at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Kenworth at 425-828-5440 or Peterbilt at 940-591-4196.

THE CIRCUMFERENTIAL WELD AROUND THE STEERING SHAFT TUBE THAT WELDS THE SPLINED TUBE TO THE NON-SPLINED TUBE MAY BE MISLOCATED. MISLOCATION OF THE CIRCUMFERENTIAL WELD MAY ALLOW THE SPLINED TUBE AND NON-SPLINED TUBE TO ROTATE RELATIVE TO ONE ANOTHER DURING A LOW SPEED, HIGH TORQUE TURN, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A SEPARATION OF THE TWO TUBES.
