PACCAR Incorporated is recalling approximately 1,315 Peterbilt model 579 and 567 trucks from the 2021-2024 model years. The U-bolts used to attach the air tank to the vehicle's chassis may rub against the fuel tank, which can eventually wear a hole through the tank wall. PACCAR will have dealers inspect and trim these bolts and replace any damaged fuel tanks at no cost to owners.
A hole in the fuel tank can cause diesel fuel to leak onto the roadway or vehicle components, which significantly increases the risk of a fire.
You have 2 options:
Inspection and trimming of U-bolts
Fuel tank replacement
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
