ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
If the driver unknowingly operates the vehicle without the ABS functioning, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
5 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 4 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
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.
Higher vehicle speeds and other factors such as tire load and road temperatures may result in premature tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
An engine that stalls without warning increases the risk of a crash.
If the seat belt anchor pulls away, the seat occupant may not be properly secured in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
Two 2016 PETERBILT 337s 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.
