What is wrong
KENWORTH IS RECALLING 9 MY 2009 T800S VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DANA FRONT AXLE. THE BRAKE SPIDER MOUNTING FASTENERS ATTACHING THE BRAKE SPIDER TO THE FRONT STEER AXLE FLANGE MAY HAVE RECEIVED INSUFFICIENT TORQUE DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS. THE INSUFFICIENT TORQUE MAY ALLOW THE BRAKE SPIDER FASTENERS AND BRAKE SPIDER TO BECOME LOOSE.
What can happen
THIS CAN ALLOW THE FASTENERS TO SHEAR AND FALL EITHER ONTO THE ROADWAY OR INTO THE DRUM BRAKE ASSEMBLY, POTENTIALLY ALLOWING THE BRAKE TO BIND AND CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE BRAKE SPIDER MOUNTING FASTENERS AND TORQUE THEM PROPERLY, AS WELL AS REVIEW THE BRAKE SPIDER AND STEER AXLE FLANGE HOLES FOR SIGNS OF VIBRATION AND FATIGUE AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNER MAY CONTACT KENWORTH AT 1-425-828-5440.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
