A partially coupled fifth wheel may result in a trailer unexpectedly separating from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Repairs have been completed to all affected chassis by the equipment supplier, fontaine. accordingly, an owner notification campaign IS unnecessary and IS not planned. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.
