NHTSA holds 193 recall campaigns naming Peterbilt vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here.

What goes wrong on a Peterbilt

The systems named most often across every Peterbilt complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
