What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (drive axle) that can lead to loss of propulsion and increased crash risk, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Peterbilt 365 and 367 vehicles manufactured between August 27, 2014, and June 5, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with drive axles manufactured by Marmon-Herrington. The recall affects 11 vehicles in total.

The affected axles have hex nuts on the flange yoke that may not have been properly tightened. If these nuts are not tightened to specification, the driveshaft may disconnect from the drive axle. This failure results in a loss of propulsion and increases the risk of a crash.

Peterbilt will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque and tighten the bolts if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 11, 2016. Owners may contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
