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.

2001 Peterbilt 362 recalls, newest first

January 15, 2002NHTSA 02V0180012,302 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air › Supply › Check valve

Summary
On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with meritor wabco pneumatic anitlock brake system (ABS) valve packages, the assembly bolts on these valve packages were not tightened correctly.
Consequence
Bolts torqued below specification will not reliably prevent air leakage at the affected ABS valve package interface joints once the component begins normal vehicle operation. If air leaks develop at any of the ABS valve package interface joints, brake system pressure reductions could occur during braking or normal operation with units equipped with the traction control option, potentially extending stopping distances, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will tighten the fasteners to the proper specification. Owner notification began February 15, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201.

Latches/locks/linkages › Doors › Latch

Summary
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. A change in the internal linkage of certain cab doors has created a possible binding condition.
Consequence
If the linkage binds, full engagement of the door latch may not occur, allowing the door to open inadvertently.
Remedy
Dealers will modify the door linkage to correct the potential of binding. Owner notification began June 22, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact peterbilt at 1-940-591-4000.
