Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Kenworth 24PBE_24KWE a recall?
No. A warranty extension is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is the 24PBE_24KWE repair free?
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.
Which vehicles does 24PBE_24KWE cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 34 model years: 2021 Kenworth T180, 2022 Kenworth T180, 2023 Kenworth T180, 2024 Kenworth T180, 2025 Kenworth T180, 2021 Kenworth T280 and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
