I have a 2015 kenworth t680 in california with a dpf/def delete so I went to the dmv and they will give me registration until I get proof of correction from manufacturer. I believe the recall has something to do with the knock sensors. Does anybody have any idea how to go about this? Can I take truck in like this or would I have to reinstall emissions?

You always hear rumors that dealerships won’t work on trucks with emissions deletes. However, I think they maybe only for warranty work. If it’s out of pocket and not direvtly work on a problem involving emissions, what would they care. They getting payed for it. So I guess you could try. I sure as hell would before putting that stuff back on

When Kenworth goes to check out the Nox sensors, I think that the fact that your truck has been deleted will definitely be a problem. You should call or go in and talk to them before taking your truck in.

Why can’t you just ignore the recall?

It's in California. The recall is for a Nox sensor, part of the emissions system so they want it done before they will let him register the truck. Sucks. Enough to make a person move out of state.bzinger Thanks this.

Sounds like there's only 2 options:
-Undelete the truck.
-Sell it and buy a truck that hasn't been altered.GoneButNotForgotten Thanks this. -
Or move out of CA. I’m sure there are plenty of shops who will cook up some documents for the right price per minute. Dumb regulations always create an underground market.Speed_Drums, Wasted Thyme, Don379 and 1 other person Thank this.

Absolutely not true, the dealer won’t work on a truck with a delete unless they can restore it because it is kind of the law that they can’t work on it without the emissions equipment.Farmerbob1 Thanks this.

I'm glad we don't give a rat's behind about that stuff up here (at least we didn't). Remember walking thru the dealership shop and seeing deleted trucks in there all the time.
