SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
12 safety recall campaigns, 3 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
If the driver unknowingly operates the vehicle without the ABS functioning, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Missing reflex reflectors can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
A short in the spotlight circuitry may increase the risk of a fire at the cab fuse block.
An incorrectly sized airline may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the hazard warning lamps are overridden by the DRL, oncoming vehicles may fail to be warned, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2014 KENWORTH T880s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
