What’s New
Safety Recall – Work brake may unintentionally disengage. The work brake (also known as winch brake) may unintentionally disengage during winching operations, releasing the service brakes, increasing the risk of crash or injury. The VECU software will be updated to correctly set the speed interlock parameter.
Introduction
The work brake, also known as winch brake, may unintentionally disengage during winching operations, releasing the service brakes.
Slight vehicle movement during winching causes the wheel speed sensor to detect vehicle movement. There is “noise” in the wheel speed sensor at lower vehicle speeds, and erroneous values are communicated. These erroneous values exceed the speed interlock, causing the work brake to disengage.
Situation
544 chassis (534 U.S. and 10 Canada) W990 and T880 chassis built from 08/22/2018 through 11/03/2021 and equipped with a work brake (winch brake) and intended service as a wrecker or auto hauler.
Resolution
Service all affected chassis that enter your dealership, even if the customer has no issue with the chassis.
1. Review the attached chassis list for your dealer code and schedule your customer(s) for service if their chassis is on the list.
2. If you are not using Service Management to start repair orders, review SIR for “Complete” or “In Process” next to the “21KWG” campaign code prior to performing this repair.
3. Follow the procedures below to update the VECU software and correctly set the speed interlock parameter.
Federal Law
It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to sell or lease new vehicles covered by this recall until the defect or noncompliance has been corrected.
Procedure
Please follow your dealership’s safety procedures and precautions to ensure the vehicle can be safely repaired and maintained.
Go to PVP and verify the parameter (either N815 or AA01153) is set to 30MPH. Change to 30MPH if needed.
Consult the chassis list to confirm the electrical architecture (VMUX or CVMUX) of the chassis. Refer to the appropriate procedure below.
Update instructions for CVMUX chassis
1. Ensure DAVIE4 is up to date.
2. Connect a battery charger to the chassis.
3. Ensure all programs except DAVIE4 are closed when you begin programming.
4. Update the VECU software to the latest available version.
5. Ensure ESA is up to date. Refer to bulletin 03-064 for ESA best practices for software update instructions and other tips.
6. Update the CECU software to the latest available version.
Update instructions for VMUX chassis
1. Ensure DAVIE4 is up to date.
2. Connect a battery charger to the chassis.
3. Ensure all programs except DAVIE4 are closed when you begin programming.
4. Update the VECU software to the latest available version.
Parts
Parts are not required.
Chronology :
10-23-20: Driver reports hearing air exhaust and work brakes release during a winching operation, causing the vehicle to roll. No injuries or property damage was reported. Driver was able to manually apply brakes. Field service notified, engineering initiates investigation, and troubleshooting guidance is provided.
12-01-20: Field visits are completed with no issues identified, and unable to replicate customer complaint. All involved parts replaced as a precaution were reviewed with no issues identified. Investigation is placed in monitor status.
07-29-21: Dealership notifies Kenworth of customer reporting work brakes automatically disengaging on July 19. Investigation begins to understand details of recent event.
08-19-21: Technical team on-site at customer replicates complaint. Two trucks were used, one was winching the other truck. During the winching operation, the vehicle moved slightly, the team heard air exhaust, and the work brakes released. Upon further review, the wheel speed sensor noted there is “noise” in the sensor signal at speeds up to 7mph, and may be communicating an erroneous value. Certain vehicles are equipped with a work brake speed interlock, which causes the work brake to disengage at speeds above a set value. The team hypothesized that the “noise” in the sensor signal may be exceeding the speed interlock value, resulting in the work brakes disengaging. The investigation continued to evaluate this hypothesis further.
10-27-21: Team completes investigation and recommends increasing speed interlock value for all vehicles in wrecker applications.
11-10-21: The affected population is confirmed.
11-12-21: Production clean point for wrecker applications.
11-16-21: Safety committee meeting held. The committee agrees that a safety defect exists and that the affected population shall be recalled.
11-18-21: Production clean point for auto hauler applications.

Upon further review, the wheel speed sensor noted there is “noise” in the sensor signal at speeds up to 7mph, and may be communicating an erroneous value. Certain vehicles are equipped with a work brake speed interlock, which causes the work brake to disengage at speeds above a set value. The team hypothesized that the “noise” in the sensor signal may be exceeding the speed interlock value, resulting in the work brakes disengaging. The investigation continued to evaluate this hypothesis further. 10-27-21: Team completes investigation and recommends increasing speed interlock value for all vehicles in wrecker applications. 11-10-21: The affected population is confirmed. 11-12-21: Production clean point for wrecker applications. 11-16-21: Safety committee meeting held. The committee agrees that a safety defect exists and that the affected population shall be recalled. 11-18-21: Production clean point for auto hauler applications. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-906 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Paccar will notify owners. Each suspect vehicle will have the speed interlock parameter value increased. This requires the vehicle software to be re-flashed to update the value. Owners who incurred costs to obtain a remedy for the problem addressed by the recall in advance of receiving notification may seek reimbursement through the process outlined in the general reimbursement plan on file. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : No physical components are affected. This is a software parameter update only. Any time the vehicle is connected to a Paccar service tool, the software version and parameters are compared with the back-office. Any parameter updates will inform the technician to complete a mandatory update. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The speed interlock parameter value was increased for all affected vehicles on 11/18/2021. Any vehicles which had already been built but were still on site at Paccar plants had the correct parameter value updated prior to being sold. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Owner notifications will be sent within 60 days.
