2022 Peterbilt 579: Structure recall
NHTSA campaign 22V016000 · 3,511 units potentially affected · filed Jan 18, 2022
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.
Why it matters
A partially unsecured cab step can unexpectedly move while entering or exiting the cab, increasing the risk of injury.

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.
