What happened

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling certain 2014 Kenworth trucks (models T170, T270, T370, T440, T470, T660, T680, T700, T800, T880, C500, and W900) manufactured between July 1, 2013 and September 17, 2013. The plastic housing of the Stop/Tail/Turn lamp can shrink, causing the light bulb to fall out of its retention ring. When this occurs, the stop/tail/turn light does not illuminate, which fails to communicate the driver's intentions to other road users and increases the risk of a crash.

Kenworth will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the defective Stop/Tail/Turn lamps with new lamps at no cost. The recall began on February 4, 2014. Affected owners should contact Paccar at 1-425-468-7400, and reference Kenworth recall number 13KWM.
