Accident Description: 2025 Kenworth T380 Model: 2025 Kenworth T380 VIN: [XXX] Date of Incident: [XXX] Location: Ontario, Canada On [XXX], while operating a 2025 Kenworth T380 on a straight section of highway in Ontario, Canada, the steering system suddenly became unresponsive while traveling at approximately 64 mph. I believe this failure is directly related to the USK tie rod ends, which are associated with two known open recalls concerning USK ball studs. At the time of the incident, no early warning indicators or mechanical symptoms were present to suggest imminent failure. Without warning, the vehicle veered sharply to the left, causing a complete loss of control. The truck subsequently rolled over multiple times, resulting in a serious multi-unit accident that blocked the highway. My drive truck, along with two additional trucks I was transporting, were all involved in the crash. I was entrapped inside the tractor cab and had to be extricated by emergency responders. I sustained significant injuries, including nerve damage and multiple cervical spine injuries, due to the violent nature of the rollover. After the incident, I observed indications that the vehicle may have been tampered with. I am uncertain about the current location of the vehicle or the whereabouts of critical front-end components. However, photographic evidence shows that the ball studs were removed post-accident. It is my belief that Paccar is not fully disclosing accurate information related to this incident and the condition of the steering components. This incident raises serious concerns regarding the vehicleas safety and the handling of related recall information.
