The defect
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Peterbilt 587 vehicles manufactured May 8, 2012, through October 24, 2013, and equipped with Inteva-brand door pad assemblies. Due to loose fasteners, the door pull portion of the door pad assembly may separate from the door when used.
The risk
If an occupant is using the door pull to assist in getting in or out of the vehicle, the sudden detachment of the pull handle may result in a fall, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
PACCAR will notify owners and dealers will inspect and torque the fasteners to the correct specification, free of charge. The recall began on March 5, 2014. Customers may contact Paccar at 1-425-468-7400. Peterbilt's number for this recall is 1213G.
