2011 KENWORTH T800; 2011 KENWORTH T660
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
PACCAR is recalling certain Kenworth T660 and T800 vehicles manufactured between September 13, 2010, and November 19, 2010. The door labels on these vehicles contain inaccurate steer axle GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) and GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) information that overstates the actual load capacity of the vehicle's components. This inaccuracy could lead owners to overload their vehicles, which increases the risk of tire failure and crashes.
According to the recall notice, dealers will inspect and replace the door labels on affected vehicles at no charge. Owners of recalled vehicles should contact Kenworth at 425-828-5440 to arrange service.
