What happened

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling certain Peterbilt trucks from model years 2009 through 2016, including the 340, 337, 335, 348, 365, 386, 388, 389, and 567 auto hauler models. These vehicles are equipped with Michelin 295/60R22.5 XZA-2 front tires that have a speed rating lower than the maximum speed the vehicles are governed to reach. At higher speeds combined with factors such as tire load and road temperatures, this mismatch can result in premature tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Peterbilt will notify owners at no cost, and authorized dealers will reprogram the engine's vehicle speed parameters to limit the maximum vehicle speed to match the tire speed rating. The recall began on January 4, 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000 for recall service, and may reference PACCAR's recall number 1115P.
