2026 KENWORTH T380 Complaints and Recall Information

The 2026 KENWORTH T380 has 0 complaints and 7 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to exterior lighting and electrical system functions according to recall data, though no formal complaints have been recorded.

Seven recalls affect various systems including exterior lighting, lighting control modules, and instrument cluster functions. Most recalls involve software defects that impact hazard lights, instrument panel brightness adjustment, headlights, and axle position controls.

• Lighting control module software. A defect in the software may cause hazard lights and instrument panel back-light brightness adjustment to fail. This issue compromises FMVSS 101 and 108 compliance and can increase crash risk due to inoperative hazard lights and difficulty reading the instrument display.
• Hazard light switch failure. The exterior lighting switch may fail, preventing hazard lights from operating properly and impacting driver alert systems.
• Instrument cluster malfunction. The instrument cluster may not allow brightness adjustments, making safety information harder to read or causing driver distraction.
• Headlight illumination delays. The tail brake light, upper and lower beam headlights, reverse light, and turn signals may not illuminate as intended leading to reduced visibility while driving.
• Lift axle position issues. Lift axles may revert to a raised position unexpectedly or oscillate when signal warning lights activate, potentially increasing injury risk.

All recalls require a software update by dealers at no charge. Notices were mailed to owners in 2025 and do not include a "Do Not Drive" or "Park Outside" advisory. Contact information for Kenworth and Peterbilt customer service is provided in recall notifications.
