Recall 95V-098: 1994–1995 Kenworth Aerocab, 1994–1995 Kenworth T600B and 1 more
PACCAR, INCORPORATED recall for seats, reported to NHTSA on May 16, 1995, covering about 3,649 vehicles.
The problem
An interference condition between the back cushion and the recliner handle can cause an incomplete latching of the recliner mechanism.
The risk
This condition can cause the seat back to "ratchet" rearward. Rearward movement of the seat back increases to where the seatback has moved to a fully reclined horizontal position. Complete loss of back support could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the seat and, if necessary, install a new recliner latch spring and handle.
