2000 Peterbilt 387 recall: unknown or other
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. The steer axle mudflaps and/or mudflap stiffeners CAN rub a hole in the forward surface of the undercab fuel tank, causing a hole in the fuel tank.
💥 The risk
This CAN result in fuel leakage. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will provide replacement mudflap assemblies smaller than the original assemblies to owners and the fuel tank will be checked for abrasion and replaced if damaged.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
