- 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.

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.
