What's wrong?
The ABS malfunction indicator lamp is the dashboard light for the anti-lock braking system. ABS helps control brake pressure during hard braking so the wheels do not lock up. The lamp normally tells the driver when the ABS needs service.
On affected 2011 Peterbilt 337, 325, and 330 trucks, the ABS malfunction indicator lamp can stay illuminated at all times. When that happens, the light stops giving a clear signal about whether the ABS has a current fault. The filing identifies the problem as warning-lamp behavior tied to the brake system, not a separate mechanical part failure.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners see the ABS lamp lit, but because it stays on, it stops being useful as a warning. Treat a constantly lit ABS lamp as a recall-related signal to have the truck checked by a Peterbilt dealer.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific truck.
What's the safety risk?
The brake system setup does not meet required standards. This recall is tied to the hydraulic brake harness and diagnostic switch, so treat it as a required brake-system repair and arrange service before relying on the vehicle for regular work. Repair will be free at any franchised Peterbilt dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Peterbilt 337, 325, or 330 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Peterbilt dealer to ask about the free hydraulic brake harness re-pin for the ABS warning light issue.
- Reference recall number 10V198 when you call the dealer or Peterbilt customer service.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, along with any service paperwork for the truck.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Peterbilt technician re-pins the hydraulic brake harness and confirms that a normally closed diagnostic switch is installed. That work addresses the ABS malfunction indicator lamp staying on when it should not. The recall repair is free once available, with parts and labor covered by Peterbilt. Because the source does not give a separate repair time, ask the service desk how long the harness work will take when you schedule service.
