NHTSA Campaign 04V606000

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH

Issued by PACCAR INCORPORATED · Reported Dec 23, 2004 · 55 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Consequence

IF THE LOCK DOES NOT ENGAGE THIS COULD RESULT IN THE HOOD CLOSING WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO SOMEONE WORKING UNDER THE HOOD.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE HOOD LOCK CYLINDER AND REMOVE AND REPLACE ANY DEFECTIVE HOOD LOCK CYLINDERS. THE RECALL BEGAN JANUARY 23, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT KENWORTH AT 1-425-828-5440.
