NHTSA's recall notice

As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 16V066000.

Defect description

PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Peterbilt 365 and 367 vehicles manufactured from August 27, 2014, through June 5, 2015, and equipped with drive axles manufactured by Marmon-Herrington. The affected axles have hex nuts on the flange yoke that may not have been properly tightened.

Safety consequence

If the hex nuts are not tightened to specification, the driveshaft may disconnect from the drive axle, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Peterbilt will notify the owners, and dealers will inspect the torque and, if necessary, tighten the bolts, free of charge. The recall began on March 11, 2016. Owners may contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000. PACCAR's number for this recall campaign is 216-A.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
