What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2006 Pierce Enforcer, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PETERBILT 379. THE CORRECT MANUFACTURER AND MODEL NUMBER OF THE VEHICLE WERE UNAVAILABLE IN THE DROP DOWN MENU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR SHOCK LOAD REPAIR. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE COMPONENT FOR THE SHOCK LOAD AND THE CLUTCH, WHICH TOTALED $5,000. ON JUNE 19, 2007, THE FAN DISLODGED AND STRUCK THE RADIATOR. THIS CAUSED THE ANTIFREEZE TO LEAK AND THE PULLEYS THAT HELP OPERATE THE VEHICLE WERE DISLODGED. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MILD PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD AFTER THE FACT THAT THE FAN CLUTCH WAS UNDER RECALL. HOWEVER, THE CONTACT NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN FIVE TIMES SINCE THE DATE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE ENGINE SIZE AND A VALID VIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 180,000.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
