2000–2001 Peterbilt 330 & 2000–2001 Peterbilt 357 + 5 more recall: door latches & locks
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. A change in the internal linkage of certain cab doors has created a possible binding condition.
💥 The risk

🔧 The fix
Dealers will modify the door linkage to correct the potential of binding. Owner notification began june 22, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact peterbilt at 1-940-591-4000.
