Recalls that may apply to the 2001 Peterbilt 378
A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.
By component
| 03V125000 | 2003-04-01. SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH TRUCK HUB UNITS MANUFACTURED BY SKF EXCLUSIVELY FOR USE ON ARVINMERITOR'S FF98X SERIES NON-DRIVE STEER AXLES, THE HUB UNIT BEARINGS CAN WEAR PREMATURELY. Built 1998-10-13 to 2002-03-26. |
|---|---|
| 02V018001 | 2002-01-15. SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:CHECK VALVE. 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. Built 2001-09-04 to 2001-11-05. |
| 01V179000 | 2001-06-05. LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. A CHANGE IN THE INTERNAL LINKAGE OF CERTAIN CAB DOORS HAS CREATED A POSSIBLE BINDING CONDITION. Built 1999-04-12 to 2001-06-04. |
| 01V066000 | 2001-03-07. STEERING. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE BOLTS USED TO SECURE THE STEERING SHAFT CAN FAIL. Built 2000-10-02 to 2001-02-12. |
| 01V054000 | 2001-02-22. SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS 7 AND CLASS 8 VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEM," AND NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES." SOME FASTENERS USED TO ATTACH THE SHOULDER BELT ANCHOR BRACKET TO THE CAB STRUCTURE WERE OMITTED DURING PRODUCTION. Built 1996-01-01 to 2001-01-31. |
| 2002016 | 2002-01-28. Airbag. Certain heavy-duty trucks equipped with Meritor Wabco pneumatic antilock brake system (ABS) valve packages. The assembly bolts on these valve packages were not tightened correctly. Bolts torque 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. Correction: Dealers will tighten the fasteners to the proper specification. |
|---|---|
| 2001218 | 2001-08-27. Steering. Certain heavy duty trucks equipped with TRW tie rod ends on certain meritor axles. The tie rod and drag link ball stud ends contain bearings that are below the specified case depth and/or hardness. This can lead to premature wear with possible separation of the ball stud from the socket, increasing the risk of loss of control of the vehicle. Correction: dealers will remove and replace all affected tie rods and drag links with different designed ends. |
| 2001168 | 2001-06-25. On certain vehicles equipped with Meritor FG941 front axles and manufactured between August 20, 1996 and April 4, 2001 steer axles the GAWR is overstated on the vehicle certification label. Correction: Dealers will assign the correct weight rating or change the necessary components to meet the currently assigned weight rating. |
| 2001162 | 2001-06-21. Powertrain. Certain Peterbilt Class 7 and 8 tractors with interaxle driveshafts produced and supplied by Spicer Driveshaft, Inc. (SDI). The SDI driveshafts with universal joint cap bolts were not tightened to SDI's full torque specification. If the driveshaft assembly became separated from the retaining bolts, the interaxle could be ejected from the truck's driving axles, resulting in hazardous debris. This could occur with little or no prior warning to the vehicle's driver, and could also result in loss of vehicle power. Correction: Dealers will re-torque the retaining bolt fasteners. |
| 2001175 | 2001-06-11. Structure. On certain vehicles, a change in the internal linkage of cab doors has created a possible binding condition. If the linkage binds, full engagement of the door latch may not occur, allowing the door to open inadvertently. Correction: Dealers will modify the door linkage to correct the potential of binding. |
| 2001102 | 2001-05-17. Seats And Restraints. Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 210 - Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages." Some fasteners used to attach the shoulder belt anchor bracket to the cab structure were omitted during production. In the event of a crash, the shoulder belt anchorage may not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing the risk of personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install adddtional huck fasteners in the shoulder belt anchor brackets. |
| 2001103 | 2001-05-16. Steering. On certain vehicles, the bolts used to secure the steering shaft can fail. This condition can result in the loss of vehicle control without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective bolts. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
