5 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 1 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.

Two 2010 PETERBILT 386s 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.
