Problem PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2017 Peterbilt 320 vehicles, equipped with Meritor disc brakes. The park brake chamber on these vehicles may be to small, which can cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems." Risk A vehicle with an undersized parking brake could result in the vehicle moving unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to anyone in the path of the vehicle. Fix PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear axle park brake chambers, free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2017. Owners may contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000. PACCAR's number for this recall is 1117E.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 1117E is the number Peterbilt assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 17V705000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.

Which vehicles does 1117E cover?

2017 Peterbilt 320, 4 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.
