Kenworth service campaign 25PBD/KWD

Kenworth filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Aug 18, 2025, received Sep 3, 2025, about the electrical system. It names 8 model years (2022–2025). A service campaign 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.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5; the full text comes from the manufacturer or a dealer. 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 it at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Kenworth 25PBD/KWD a recall?

No. A service campaign 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 25PBD/KWD repair free?

A service campaign 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 25PBD/KWD cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 8 model years: 2022 Kenworth K270, 2023 Kenworth K270, 2024 Kenworth K270, 2025 Kenworth K270, 2022 Kenworth K370, 2023 Kenworth K370 and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
