Western Star (2017–2018)

Published 2019-10-09

What the hazard is

If the internal clutch component fails and there is enough drive line torque in the transmission, the parking brake may be overcome while the vehicle is idling in neutral, causing the vehicle to move unintentionally and increasing the risk of an accident or injury.

What to do

Affected owners should contact their authorised Western Star Truck dealer for repair at no charge. For further information, owners can contact Western Star Trucks on 07 3271 7777 or find their local authorised dealer at https://westernstar.com.au/dealers/

Defect

The internal clutch component may be outside specifications and fail, which may prevent clutch disengagement.
