Summary
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with cummins isc engines. Diodes (electronic devices that restrict current flow) contained in the pre-heat circuit of certain engine wiring harnesses were not properly insulated during the harness manufacturing process.
Consequence
This lack of insulation could allow the diodes to contact each other. Any contact between the diodes could lead to a short circuit and possibly a vehicle fire.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the harnesses and remedy, if required, by properly insulating the diodes. 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.
Notes
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.
