Transport Canada recalls

Suspension#2017432September 7, 2017
1,682 units affected
On certain vehicles, the front axle sway bar link may come loose and detach from the frame rail. If the sway bar link were to detach, it could become lodged between the drag link and the front shock absorber, potentially binding the steering system, which could affect steering control and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the upper sway bar link attachment for the presence of the hardened washer between the bushing and the nut and install the washer if not present.
Brakes#2012343October 11, 2012
On some trucks equipped with Eaton Ultrashift transmissions, air brake lines could be squeezed between the cab and the transmission electronic clutch actuator. This could cause the air lines to wear, potentially resulting in an air leak. Air leakage could result in partial loss of brake function, which could increase stopping distance. These issues could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reroute the air lines.
Lights And Instruments#2012336October 5, 2012
41 units affected
Certain trucks fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 – Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. Specifically, the fog lamps can be activated with the high beam headlamps; the daytime running lamps are not deactivated when the headlamp control is switched to the ON position, and; the high beam headlamps can be activated while the daytime running lamps are illuminated. Correction: Dealers will install a jumper wiring harness between the chassis harness and the power distribution center.

PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2009-2010 Peterbilt 210 and 220 trucks; 2012-2018 Peterbilt 210 and 220 trucks; and 2010-2018 Kenworth K270 and K370 trucks. These LFNA trucks have a front axle sway bar link that may come loose on the frame rail end and fall into the path of the drag link, possibly binding the steering system.
Risk: If the sway bar link detaches and falls into the drag link, it may impact the ability of the vehicle to steer properly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the upper sway bar link attachment for a hardened washer installed between the bushing and the nut, installing a washer if it is missing, free of charge. The recall began on October 2730, 2017. Owners may contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000 or Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4220.
