2015 KENWORTH T370 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2015 KENWORTH T370 has 0 complaints and 7 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to brake systems, fuel system filters, electronic stability control software, windshield wiper motor water intrusion, and fire apparatus equipment defects.
Seven recalls exist affecting various systems including parking brake air chambers, diesel fuel filters, air supply reservoirs, electronic stability control software, fire fighting water pump valves, and windshield wiper motors. The recalls address safety-critical components and system malfunctions that can impact vehicle operation and safety.
Recalls- Parking brake air chamber. Recall 14V810000 affects 1,623 vehicles with brake drag caused by an improperly seated diaphragm. Brake drag may cause a wheel end fire. Dealers inspect and replace the brake chamber free of charge. Kenworth and Peterbilt issued an interim notice March 3, 2015, with recall starting May 14, 2015.
- Diesel fuel filter. Recall 14V486000 covers 2,045 vehicles whose Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filter shells may separate causing engine stalls without warning. Unexpected stalls increase crash risk. Cummins dealers replace the filter free of charge, with notifications sent between July and December 2014.
- Air supply reservoirs. Recall 24V145000 involves 996 vehicles with air tanks providing insufficient volume, failing FMVSS 121. Reduced air volume diminishes brake performance and raises crash risk. Dealers install correct volume tanks at no cost. Owner notifications mailed August 12, 2024.
- Electronic stability control software. Recall 20V199000 affects 460,515 vehicles with NAMUX software that may not illuminate ABS warning lights after power loss. Drivers can unknowingly operate without ABS, increasing crash risk. Dealers update the software free of charge. Interim notices mailed June 4, 2020, recall started May 26, 2020.
- ABS warning light. Also covered under recall 20V199000, this defect involves failure of the ABS warning light to illuminate during ABS power loss, raising crash risk. Dealers fix via software update free of charge with the same timeline as the ESC recall.
- Fire apparatus water pump relief valve. Recall 18V094000 includes 66 specialized vehicles where corrosive ring failure can open the pressure relief valve, lowering water pressure needed for firefighting. This poses injury risk. Certified technicians replace the ring with stainless steel versions free of charge. Recall began February 12, 2018.
- Windshield wiper motor water intrusion. Recall 15V271000 covers 104,807 trucks where water leaks into the wiper motor causing intermittent setting failure, reduced visibility, and potential electrical shorts that may lead to fire. A remedy was under development with recall beginning September 2, 2015.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to brake systems, fuel system failures, or electronic safety components should review their rights under their state’s lemon law for possible recourse.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2009-2021 Kenworth C500, 2012-2021 Kenworth T440, 2009-2015 Kenworth T660, 2015-2024 Kenworth T680, 2008-2024 Kenworth T800, 2009-2020 Kenworth T370, 2013-2023 Kenworth T880, 2011-2016 Kenworth T470, 2023 Kenworth T480, 2021-2023 Kenworth T800B, and 2009-2019 Kenworth W900 vehicles. The air tanks have an insufficient volume of air for the brake system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2008-2019 Peterbilt 330, 335, 337, 340, 348, 365, 367, 384, 386, 387, 388, 389, 567, 579 and 587 vehicles and 2008-2020 Kenworth T170, T270, T370, T660, T680, T800, T880, and W900 vehicles equipped with NAMUX Software. In the event that the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) loses battery and/or ignition power to the controller, the dash warning light for the ABS may not illuminate to warn the driver of the loss of ABS. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems," and 136, "Electronic Stability Control System on Heavy Vehicles."
Risk: If the driver unknowingly operates the vehicle without the ABS functioning, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

EQUIPMENT
Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Inferno and International 4400, 2013-2016 Igniter, 2014-2017 Cinder and Freightliner M2 106, 2013-2014 Ember and 2013-2017 Kenworth T370 fire-fighting vehicles, equipped with Hale pressure relief valves in the water pumps used for fire fighting. Rings securing the valves may corrode over time after exposure to water, causing the ring to fail and the pressure relief valve to open, reducing the water pressure available for fire fighting.
Risk: A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Kenworth T270, T370, T440, T470, C500, C540, C550, T660, T800, W900, and 963 trucks manufactured November 1, 2010, to April 6, 2015. In the affected trucks, water may leak into the wiper motor.
Risk: As water leaks in, the wiper may cease to function on the 'intermittent' setting, reducing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the water may cause corrosion which, over time, may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
