Recall 82V-074: 1982 Kenworth W900B
PACCAR, INCORPORATED recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Jul 26, 1982, covering about 1,000 vehicles.
The problem
The involved trucks may have been assembled without the installation of a single check valve. This fails to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems". In the event of a single failure in the rear air system, the lack of a check valve would allow simultaneous loss of air from both front and rear braking systems.
The fix
Dealer will install a single check valve, if necessary, without charge to owner.
