Affects Kenworth K270, K370 · 2012–2013 — about 0 vehicles.
The hazard
On some trucks equipped with Eaton Ultrashift transmissions, air brake lines could be squeezed between the cab and the transmission electronic clutch actuator. This could cause the air lines to wear, potentially resulting in an air leak. Air leakage could result in partial loss of brake function, which could increase stopping distance. These issues could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reroute the air lines.
