2022 Peterbilt 579 recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2022 Peterbilt 579 vehicles equipped with chassis fairings. The bolts that hold the chassis fairing step assembly in the closed position may loosen and fracture the latch attachment, causing the fairing assembly to flex.
💥 The risk
A partially unsecured cab step can unexpectedly move while entering or exiting the cab, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will add new fasteners and a bracket, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 11, 2022. Owners may contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 22PBA.
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.)
