2009 PETERBILT 587 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2009 PETERBILT 587 has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report no issues or defects directly. The recall notices primarily address safety and mechanical components related to fuel system, brakes, and labeling inaccuracies.
The vehicle has five recalls affecting various systems including the fuel system, electronic stability control, anti-lock braking system warning, and tire pressure labeling.
Recalls- Fuel system defect. NHTSA recall 11V127000 affects 4,664 vehicles. The oil module centrifugal spinner filter cap in PACCAR MX engines may loosen, allowing engine oil to leak onto hot exhaust parts. This creates a fire risk. Dealers will re-torque the filter cap and install a secondary retention device free of charge.
- Electronic stability control failure. Recall 20V199000 covers 460,515 vehicles. Vehicles with NAMUX software may have the ABS warning light fail to illuminate when ABS loses power, causing lack of driver warning. This violates FMVSS 121 and 136 and increases crash risk. Dealers will update software at no cost.
- ABS warning light issue. Same as recall 20V199000 affecting 460,515 vehicles. The defect prevents ABS warning illumination during power loss. The fix is dealer-provided software update. No "do not drive" advisory applies.
- Incorrect tire pressure labels. Recall 15V132000 impacts 213,230 vehicles. Tire and rim certification labels may show lower tire pressure than specified, risking tire failure under max load and increasing crash risk. Peterbilt will mail corrected labels free of charge.
- Tire pressure risk. Same recall 15V132000 on 213,230 vehicles. Incorrect tire pressure labeling could cause underinflation and tire failure. Owners will receive corrected labels from Peterbilt at no charge.
Owners of 2009 Peterbilt 587 trucks with repeated or unresolved recall issues involving safety or mechanical defects may want to explore legal options under their state’s lemon law. Consulting with an attorney could help clarify available rights and remedies.

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.

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.
