Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 19PBD 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. 19V618000 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.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Yes. 19PBD is Peterbilt’s own number for it; 19V618000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does 19PBD cover?

2019–2020 Peterbilt 337 and 1 other Peterbilt model, 109 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the 19PBD repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
