Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 1999 Kenworth T300 in Canada.
Certain Kenworth vehicles manufactured between March 1996 and September 11,2001 model year T300 trucks equipped with 10,000 or 12,000 pound Dana front axles. A condition called brake "sprag", which is characterized by a noise at the end of an applied stop, can develop in the brake system. This noise is the result of a pulsation of the brake lining with the brake drum during brake application. These noise vibrations occur at the resonant frequency of the front axle cross-tube assembly and cause unusually high strain forces in the threaded portion of the tie rod ends that are connected to the cross-tube. Failure of the tie rod end can cause loss of steering control and possibly result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake lining on the front axle of each vehicle with a lining made of a different composition. In addition, the tie rod ends will be replaced free of charge.
A failure of this component (steering) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
Certain vehicles equipped with TRW brand tie rod model number 24-DL. The tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket. If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective ball sockets and/or drag links.

On certain vehicles, the drivelines may exceed the 35 degrees in the U-joint angle. This creates the potential of the U-joint contacting the aluminum steering driveline. This contact may result in a notch in the steering driveline, which would result in a stress riser in the shaft. This condition could result in premature failure of the steering driveline and loss of vehicle control. Correction: Aluminum steering driveline will be replaced with a steel version.
