Kenworth filed this with NHTSA as a warranty extension dated Jan 13, 2026, received Feb 5, 2026, about the power train. It names 34 model years (2021–2025). A warranty extension is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.

One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page.

Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

A warranty extension is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
