What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Rush Truck Centers of Texas, LP (Rush), doing business as Custom Vehicle Solutions, is recalling certain modified 2011-2016 Peterbilt 337 trucks manufactured March 26, 2010, to March 9, 2015, modified 2013-2015 Peterbilt 348 trucks manufactured May 14, 2012, to March 25, 2014, and modified 2014 Peterbilt 382 trucks manufactured on November 1, 2013. The affected trucks, converted from conventional day cabs to crew cabs, may be equipped with seat belt anchorage assemblies that may come unanchored when under load. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

The risk

If the seat belt anchor pulls away, the seat occupant may not be properly secured in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.

The remedy

Rush will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on, July 16, 2015. Owners may contact Rush customer service at 1-713-766-3007.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
