PACCAR Recalls 2015 Kenworth and Peterbilt Trucks for Fuel Filter Defect

Plain-English summary

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling certain model year 2015 Kenworth and Peterbilt chassis vehicles. The affected Kenworth models include the K270, T270, K370, T370, T440, T470, and W900, manufactured between May 13, 2014, and July 23, 2014. The affected Peterbilt models include the 210, 220, 320, 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 382, 384, and 567, manufactured between May 8, 2014, and July 22, 2014.

The recall is due to a defect in the Cummins ISB or ISL engines, which may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters (part number FF63009). The filter shell on these units may separate from the fuel filter nut plate, causing the engine to stall without warning. An unexpected engine stall increases the risk of a crash.

Cummins will notify owners on behalf of PACCAR. Cummins dealers will replace the fuel filter with a non-defective one free of charge. Owners may contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000, Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000, or Cummins customer service at 1-812-377-3713. The notification schedule for this recall ran from July 29 to December 31, 2014.
