Peterbilt 337 Recall 15V365: Seat belt anchors may pull loose in a crash

NHTSA campaign 15V365, reported June 10, 2015, 37 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain Peterbilt trucks that were converted from day cabs to crew cabs may have seat belt anchorage assemblies that can come unanchored when under load. The vehicles do not meet federal seat belt anchorage safety requirements.

If a seat belt anchor pulls away, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained during a crash, which increases the risk of injury. Owners of the affected converted trucks should expect a notice from Rush Truck Centers of Texas, LP, which does business as Custom Vehicle Solutions.

The repair is free and will be performed by dealers. You can contact Rush customer service at 1-713-766-3007 for more information, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
