# NHTSA recall 15V456000 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. - Published by: NHTSA \(United States\) - Campaign number: 15V456000 - Manufacturer's number: 715\-K - Manufacturer: PACCAR Incorporated - Reported: 2015\-07\-22 - Owners notified: 2015\-09\-23 - Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR - Units potentially affected: 288 ## What is wrong PACCAR Incorporated \(PACCAR\) is recalling certain model year 2012\-2016 Peterbilt 365, 367, 384, 386, 388, 389, 567, 579, and 587 trucks manufactured January 13, 2011, to April 20, 2015. The affected trucks, equipped with extended\-body Leece Neville alternators, have alternator charge cables that may chafe against a formed metal freon discharge line. ## What can happen If the alternator cable rubs through its insulation, an electrical short may occur, increasing the risk of a fire. ## The remedy Peterbilt will notify owners, and dealers will reroute the alternator charge cable away from the metal freon line and install a plastic insulator on the cable end, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2015. Owners may contact Peterbilt customer service at 1\-940\-591\-4000. Peterbilt's number for this recall is 715\-K. ## 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. ## Remedy progress the manufacturer reported - Report: Quarterly report 6, for 2016 quarter 4 - Filed with NHTSA: 2017\-01\-20 - Vehicles in the campaign: 288 - Reported remedied: 187 \(64%\) - Reported unreachable: 0 - Reported removed: 0 These are the manufacturer's totals for the whole campaign at the end of 2016 quarter 4, as filed with NHTSA.
