The problem
Peterbilt is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 model 325, 330, 335, 337, 340, and 348 trucks. The hood anti-blowdown device is designed to prevent unintended and unexpected hood closure. The device within can become hindered or inoperative due to unintentional latch movement which interferes with the hood pivot j-hook, latch misalignment, or latch fallout.
The risk
An unintended latch closure can cause personal injury.
The fix
Dealers will install hood anti-blowdown retention cables to the radiator and hood assemblies free of charge. The safety recall began on june 21, 2010. Owners may contact perterbilt at 940-591-4196.
