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.

Suspension

Summary
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, the suspension has transverse beam castings that may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
Consequence
This could cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. The recall began on June 10, 2005, with letters being mailed to peterbilt owners; and on June 17, 2005, for kenworth owners. Owners may contact peterbilt at 940-591-4201 or kenworth at 425-828-5440.
