Has your Peterbilt been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Peterbilt dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

2008 Peterbilt 335 recalls, newest first

Electronic stability control (ESC)

Summary
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2008-2019 Peterbilt 330, 335, 337, 340, 348, 365, 367, 384, 386, 387, 388, 389, 567, 579 and 587 vehicles and 2008-2020 Kenworth T170, T270, T370, T660, T680, T800, T880, and W900 vehicles equipped with NAMUX Software. In the event that the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) loses battery and/or ignition power to the controller, the dash warning light for the ABS may not illuminate to warn the driver of the loss of ABS. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems," and 136, "Electronic Stability Control System on Heavy Vehicles."
Consequence
If the driver unknowingly operates the vehicle without the ABS functioning, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy
PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will update the NAMUX software within the cab control module, free of charge. PACCAR issued owners an interim notification on June 4, 2020. The recall began May 26, 2020. Owners may contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5888 or Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 20pbc AND 20KWB.

September 3, 2009NHTSA 09V348000135 vehicles potentially affected

Engine and engine cooling › Engine › Diesel

Summary
Paccar is recalling model year 2008-2010 kenworth T300, T270, and T370, model year 2009-2010 T800 and peterbilt model year 2008-2010 335, 340, and 367 vehicles built on cummins' diesel engine. The vehicles may be designed with a hard wired, dash-mounted switch that enables the vehicle operator to inhibit aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration in environments where the operator believes it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures. Due to an issue with the logic in the ECM software in these engines, the switch may not function correctly, leading the operator to believe that the switch is in "inhibit" mode when it is not.
Consequence
This condition will permit hot exhaust gases to exit the vehicle tailpipe, increasing the risk of melting or burning of nearby surfaces, or a fire.
Remedy
Paccar is working with cummins to repair the engines free of charge please see 09E-046. The safety recall began on October 1, 2009. Owners may contact cummins at 1-800-diesels (1-800-343-7357).

Steering › Linkages › Tie rod assembly

Summary
On certain medium duty vehicles, the right side stabilizing rod, which spans the cooling module and the right frame rail bracket, was inadvertently designed too close in proximity to the alternator positive electrical terminal post. In the event the protective rubber boot on the terminal post was removed or cracked and the engine mounts allowed the engine to rock, electrical arcing could occur between the radiator tie rod hardware on the frame side and the alternator terminal post while the engine is running.
Consequence
The electrical arcing could potentially ignite a fire in the engine compartment.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the right radiator tie rod and corresponding mounting bracket with a longer radiator tie and different mounting bracket which will adequately space apart the tie rod mounting hardware and mounting bracket free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2007. Owners may contact peterbilt at 940-591-4201.
