If the gear passes inspection (“Good” or “Out of Date Range”), no further action is required. If the gear fails inspection (“Suspect”), a replacement gear will be ordered and installed. Steering gears for this repair may have significant lead time due to supplier capacity and supply chain issues. Coordinate with your dealer to determine expected parts arrival dates and inspection/repair scheduling. Inspecting dealers do not need to be the repairing dealer. Vehicle owners can contact Sheppard directly for more information about this recall. Call 1-877-409-9869. Representatives are available Monday – Thursday, 8:00 am – 6:00 pm ET and Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm ET. When parts arrive at the dealer, the steering gear will be replaced.

Sheppard Co., Inc. Description Sheppard Steering Gear Incorrectly Assembled Date 8/2/2022 What’s New Safety Recall – Interim Notification – Certain steering gears may have been assembled incorrectly, causing the gear to fracture. This can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. Inspection and repair information will be added when procedures and parts are available. Introduction Kenworth Truck Company has determined that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain Model Year 2022-2023 T170, T270, T280, T370, T380, T440, T470, T480, T680, T680 NextGen, T800, T880, W900, W990, and CS00 chassis built from 06/01/2021 through 06/16/2022. The steering gear may have been incorrectly assembled, which could cause the steering gear to fracture, resulting in loss of steering control and increased risk of a collision. Some steering gears were assembled with fewer than the required number of recirculating balls which can lead to a fracture in the steering gear worm shaft and loss of vehicle steering. Steering gears with fewer than the required number of recirculating balls may bind when loads are applied. In some cases, the balls may align on the same side of the gear’s worm shaft and concentrated loads may cause the gear’s internal parts to fracture resulting in loss of vehicle steering. Loss of steering increases the likelihood of a crash. Preceding the internal fracture, the steering may be perceived as strained by the driver. No audible or visual warning is available.
