Recall Summary:
Paccar incorporated (paccar) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 kenworth t440, t800, and w900 trucks manufactured August 31, 2009, to April 20, 2015, and 2008-2015 peterbilt 320, 337, 348, 365, 382, and 384 trucks manufactured July 27, 2007, to April 28, 2015, and equipped with certain cummins westport isl g engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
How to Fix:
Cummins will notify owners on behalf of paccar, and cummins service centers will administer the repairs which include securing the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogramming the electronic control module (ecm) with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. Owners may contact kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000, peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000 or cummins inc. At 1-800-343-7357. Paccar's number for this recall is 15kwh and 515-g.
