Plain-English summary

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Peterbilt 587 vehicles manufactured between May 8, 2012, and October 24, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with Inteva-brand door pad assemblies. The recall affects 827 units.

The defect involves loose fasteners that may cause the door pull portion of the door pad assembly to separate from the door when used. If an occupant is using the door pull to assist in getting in or out of the vehicle, the sudden detachment of the pull handle may result in a fall, increasing the risk of injury.

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and torque the fasteners to the correct specification free of charge. The recall began on March 5, 2014. Customers may contact Paccar at 1-425-468-7400 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
