What's wrong?
The mud flap on the 2022-2023 Kenworth T680 sits behind the wheel area and helps keep road spray and debris from being thrown outward. On trucks with the T680SH Next Gen split fender and an under-cab fuel tank, that flap also sits close enough to the tank that its movement matters.
On recalled trucks, the thermoplastic mud flap can swing while the truck is moving and rub against the aluminum fuel tank. That contact wears into the tank surface over time. Trucks built without the anti-sail device do not have the extra part that limits the flap's motion, so the flap can keep contacting the tank during normal service.
The warning sign is fuel leaking during a pre-trip inspection. If a driver sees or smells fuel around the tank area, the truck needs dealer attention before it returns to service.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Kenworth technician inspects the fuel tank and installs an anti-sail device so the mud flap stays off the tank while the truck is moving. The recall repair is available now, and parts and labor are covered. If you already paid for this fuel tank or mud flap repair before receiving the recall notice, submit receipts or other documentation through Kenworth's general reimbursement process.
