What's wrong?
The door pad assembly on 2013-2014 Peterbilt 587 trucks is the interior trim panel mounted to the door. The door pull is the handhold built into that panel, and drivers use it to pull the door closed from inside the cab. It depends on its fasteners, the screws or bolts holding the assembly in place, staying tight under repeated use.
On affected trucks equipped with Inteva-brand door pad assemblies, those fasteners are loose. When the door pull is used, the pull portion of the assembly separates from the door instead of staying fixed to the panel. That leaves the driver pulling against a part that no longer has the support it was designed to have.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign is the door pull moving, loosening, or separating from the door when someone uses it.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2013 and 2014 model years, both tied to the body structure component.

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?
A loose door pull handle can detach while someone uses it for support getting into or out of the truck. That sudden loss of support can cause a fall and increase the risk of injury. Use care entering and exiting until the fasteners are inspected. Repair will be free at any franchised Peterbilt dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2014 Peterbilt 587 is included in this recall.
- Watch for Peterbilt's owner notice, which began on March 5, 2014, before scheduling the free dealer inspection.
- Call Peterbilt customer service at 1-425-468-7400 with questions about timing or dealer handling.
- Reference recall number 14V015 when you call the dealer about the door-pull fastener repair that keeps the handle attached to the door pad.
- Avoid using the door pull for extra support when getting in or out until the fasteners are inspected and torqued correctly.
What happens at the repair
The listed remedy is a dealer inspection of the Inteva door pad assembly. A Peterbilt technician checks the door pull fasteners and torques them to the correct specification so the door pull stays secured to the door pad when used. The final dealer repair will be free once available for your VIN, with parts and labor covered under the recall. If the door pull feels loose before the repair is completed, tell the service desk when you schedule the visit so the technician can inspect that area first.
