ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
If the driver unknowingly operates the vehicle without the ABS functioning, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
If the driver unknowingly operates the vehicle without the ABS functioning, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
Even though the transmission has been shifted out of reverse into neutral, the vehicle may unexpectedly move backwards, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the alternator cable rubs through its insulation, an electrical short may occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
Two 2016 PETERBILT 384s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
