2015 PETERBILT 382 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2015 PETERBILT 382 has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to engine performance and tire safety in recall notifications. There are no formal complaints detailing defect experiences from owners or operators.
The vehicle has been subject to several recalls that address safety and performance concerns affecting several critical systems.
Recalls- Engine crankcase ventilation. Recall 15V309000 affects 4,823 vehicles. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow in the vent tube assembly to detach, allowing engine oil to contact hot surfaces which poses a fire risk. Repair includes securing the elbow and reprogramming the engine control module to limit crankcase pressures.
- Fuel filter separation. Recall 14V486000 involves 2,045 vehicles. The fuel filter shell may separate from the filter nut plate resulting in unexpected engine stalls that increase crash risk. A replacement fuel filter is provided at no charge.
- Intake manifold sensor malfunction. Recall 14V086000 covers 2,019 vehicles. Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze causing sensor malfunction and raising exhaust temperatures that could result in fire or burn injury. Repairs consist of uploading new engine control software.
- Tire and rim certification labels. Recall 15V132000 applies to 213,230 vehicles. The tire pressure listed on certification labels is lower than the correct amount. This underinflation risk may lead to tire failure and increase crash risk. Owners receive corrected labels by mail at no cost.
Owners coping with repeated repairs or ongoing issues related to safety recalls may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting with a qualified attorney could help clarify available remedies.

TIRES
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2006-2016 Peterbilt 587, 579, 567, 389, 388, 387, 385, 382, 379, 378, 367, 365 and 357 trucks manufactured July 25, 2005, to February 26, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with Tire and Rim Certification Labels that list a tire pressure below the actual correct amount. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, "Tire selection and rims and motor home/recreation vehicle trailer load carrying capacity information for motor vehicles with a GVWR of more than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds)."
Risk: If the tires are underinflated due to the incorrect inflation pressure listed on the label, the truck may not be able to carry the maximum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) load listed without experiencing tire failure which would increase the risk of a crash.

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.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
PACCAR Inc, is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Kenworth T440, T660, T800, and W900 tractor trailers manufactured January 23, 2013, through February 4, 2014, and certain model year 2014-2015 Peterbilt 320, 365, 382, 384 tractor trailers manufactured January 21, 2013, through February 5, 2014, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G and ISX12 G engines. Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.
Risk: The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2015 Kenworth K270, T270, K370, T370, T440, T470, and W900 chassis manufactured May 13, 2014, to July 23, 2014, and certain model year 2015 Peterbilt 210, 220, 320, 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 382, 384, and 567 chassis manufactured May 8, 2014, to July 22, 2014. The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009, whose filter shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate causing the engine to stall without warning.
Risk: If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.
