Kenworth K100E, T800 +5 more: Lights and Instruments

Affects Kenworth K100E, T800, T600, C500, W900, T2000, T300 · 2002–2003 — about 1K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles a rubber grommet from the trailer light line connector is missing. Kenworth chassis equipped with trailer connections are experiencing corrosion at the 7-way trailer connector with the light line because of the missing grommet, which causes intermittent flashing/flickering of the trailer lights. The elimination of this grommet allowed water to enter the connection and begin corroding, which can cause a short and/or possible fire hazard. Correction: Dealer will install the missing grommet and if a connector is found defective, it will be replaced.
