Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
PACCAR is recalling certain 2014 Kenworth and Peterbilt chassis manufactured between August 7, 2013, and November 3, 2013, that are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The affected Kenworth models are T660, T680, T700, T800, T880, W900, T440, T470, T370, T270, T170, C500, and C550. The affected Peterbilt models are 320, 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 382, 384, 386, 388, 389, and 587. The problem is that when the seat belt release button is pressed, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle instead of fully releasing, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch and potentially hindering exit from the vehicle in an emergency.
PACCAR will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckles at no charge. The recall began on March 31, 2014. Owners should contact PACCAR at 1-425-468-7400, and can reference campaign number 14KWC for Kenworth vehicles or 114-B for Peterbilt vehicles.

If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
