2014 PETERBILT 337 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2014 PETERBILT 337 has 0 complaints and 8 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to vehicle safety components and engine systems as indicated by the recall data.
The recalls affect various systems including the ignition switch, engine components, seat belts, air bags, electrical system, electronic stability control, and ABS warning light functions. These recalls address defects that pose risks of injury, fire, and reduced vehicle safety.
Recalls- Ignition switch defect. NHTSA recall 13V222000 affects 1773 vehicles. An internal ignition switch defect allows the starter to engage when the key is partially inserted, risking unintended engine startup and possible injury or vehicle movement. Dealers will replace affected switches free of charge.
- Engine crankcase pressure. Recall 15V309000 covers 4823 vehicles with Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive crankcase pressure may cause a vent tube to detach, allowing engine oil to contact hot surfaces and increasing fire risk. Repairs include securing components and reprogramming ECM software at no cost.
- Seat belt anchorage failure. Recall 15V365000 involves 37 modified Peterbilt 337 trucks. Seat belt anchor assemblies may detach under load, failing FMVSS 210 standards and risking occupant injury. Affected vehicles will be repaired free by dealers.
- Seat belt buckle malfunction. Recall 14V013000 impacts 10414 vehicles equipped with IMMI-brand L9 buckles. The latch plate can partially engage despite pressing the release button, making the seat belt hard to unlatch and potentially delaying emergency egress. Dealers will inspect and replace buckles as needed.
- Side air bag disablement. Recall 14V283000 covers 1705 vehicles. Power interruption to the seat electronic control unit disables the side air bag without triggering a warning light, increasing injury risk in rollovers. Dealers will install a new electrical harness to fix the issue.
- Electrical system defect. This recall shares the same NHTSA number 14V283000 and vehicles affected as the air bag recall. It involves the same power interruption issue disabling the side air bag system without warning. The fix includes installing a new electrical harness free of charge.
- Electronic stability control (ESC) failure. Recall 20V199000 affects 460,515 vehicles with NAMUX software. ABS warning light may fail to illuminate if ABS loses power, causing the driver to unknowingly operate without ABS functioning, increasing crash risk. Dealers will update NAMUX software free of charge.
- ABS warning light malfunction. This recall shares the same number 20V199000 and affected vehicles as the ESC recall. The issue involves ABS warning light failure under power loss conditions, again heightening crash risk. The same software update repair applies.
Owners of the 2014 PETERBILT 337 facing repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues involving safety defects should consider their rights under state lemon laws. Consulting a legal professional can provide guidance on potential claims related to these defects and recalls.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2008-2019 Peterbilt 330, 335, 337, 340, 348, 365, 367, 384, 386, 387, 388, 389, 567, 579 and 587 vehicles and 2008-2020 Kenworth T170, T270, T370, T660, T680, T800, T880, and W900 vehicles equipped with NAMUX Software. In the event that the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) loses battery and/or ignition power to the controller, the dash warning light for the ABS may not illuminate to warn the driver of the loss of ABS. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems," and 136, "Electronic Stability Control System on Heavy Vehicles."
Risk: If the driver unknowingly operates the vehicle without the ABS functioning, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

SEAT BELTS
Rush Truck Centers of Texas, LP (Rush), doing business as Custom Vehicle Solutions, is recalling certain modified 2011-2016 Peterbilt 337 trucks manufactured March 26, 2010, to March 9, 2015, modified 2013-2015 Peterbilt 348 trucks manufactured May 14, 2012, to March 25, 2014, and modified 2014 Peterbilt 382 trucks manufactured on November 1, 2013. The affected trucks, converted from conventional day cabs to crew cabs, may be equipped with seat belt anchorage assemblies that may come unanchored when under load. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Risk: 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.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Kenworth T440, T800, and W900 trucks manufactured August 31, 2009, to April 20, 2015, and 2008-2015 Peterbilt 320, 337, 348, 365, 382, and 384 trucks manufactured July 27, 2007, to April 28, 2015, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
Risk: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 Peterbilt 579, 388, 384, 367, 365, 348, and 337 trucks manufactured October 30, 2009, through May 21, 2014. In the affected vehicles, if power is interrupted to the seat electronic control unit (ECU), such as when the fuse for that circuit blows, the side air bag would be disabled but there will not be a warning lamp indicator to notify the operator of the malfunction.
Risk: Without a warning of a problem existing in the side air bag system, the driver may continue to operate the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury from the side air bag not deploying in the event of a rollover.

SEAT BELTS
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2014 Kenworth T660, T680, T700,T800, T880, W900, T440, T470, T370, T270, T170, C500, and C550 chassis manufactured between August 7, 2013, and October 31, 2013, and Peterbilt 320, 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 382, 384, 386, 388, 389, and 587 chassis manufactured between August 7, 2013, and November 3, 2013, and equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Risk: 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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
PACCAR is recalling certain model year 2014 Kenworth T170, T270, T370, T470, T660, T680, T800, T880, and W900 trucks manufactured May 6, 2013, through May 17, 2013; and model year 2014 Peterbilt 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 382, 384, 386, 388, 389, 389K, 567, 579 and 587 trucks manufactured May 1, 2013 through May 17, 2013. An internal defect in the ignition switch causes the starter to engage when a key is partially inserted, before the key is turned.
Risk: Unintended engine startup could cause injury to a person working in the engine compartment. Vehicles with standard transmissions may experience unexpected movement, which may result in personal injury or a crash.
