kscarbel2 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Matt Cole, Commercial Carrier Journal (CCJ) / September 17, 2018 A recall announced recently by Paccar affects more than 11,000 Kenworth tractors. Paccar’s recall, affecting approximately 11,429 vehicles, stems from engine harnesses for trucks equipped with ISX15 engines that may have been manufactured without check engine light and stop engine light circuits, which could prevent the driver from being warned of a serious engine problem. Affected trucks, manufactured between July 23, 2015, and Aug. 17, 2018, include: 2016-2019 Kenworth C500 2016-2019 Kenworth T660 2016-2019 Kenworth T800 2016-2019 Kenworth W900 Paccar will begin notifying owners on Oct. 19, and dealers will inspect or test the ISX15 engine harness and install an overlay jumper harness to supply the missing circuits. Owners can contact Paccar customer service at 1-918-259-3258 with recall number 18KWE. NHTSA’s recall number is 18V-555. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 How does one manufacture 11,000 trucks over three years time and not realize until now that the engine harnesses are lacking the usual check engine light and stop engine light circuits??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 They had to have known about this. But why didn't they nip it in the bud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 And why would Paccar wait another month before notifying the customers of a 3 year old problem? Sounds like they could be in some trouble if people burnt their engines down because of the lack of dummy lights. Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.
