Recall 15V132 covers 213,230 2006-2016 Peterbilt trucks with tire labels showing too-low pressure. Peterbilt mails the corrected label for free.
Peterbilt is recalling 213,230 2006-2016 trucks, including the 579, 389, and 587, because Tire and Rim Certification Labels list tire pressure below the correct amount. Underinflated tires can fail when the truck carries its listed GVWR load, which increases the risk of a crash, and Peterbilt dealers will install corrected labels free of charge.

What's wrong?
The Tire and Rim Certification Label on a 2006-2016 Peterbilt truck is the tire information sticker that tells an owner or service shop which tire and rim combination belongs on the truck. It also lists the inflation pressure tied to the truck's axle weight rating, which is the maximum weight each axle is designed to carry.
On affected Peterbilt trucks, the software used to print that label pulled the wrong line from the tire and rim data table. Instead of assigning the combination for the truck's actual axle rating, it selected the next lower rating. That left the label with tire pressure understated by 5 psi on many trucks, or with a tire and rim combination rated below the truck's axle rating.
The truck itself does not give a dashboard alert for an incorrect certification label. There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is the information an owner or technician relies on when setting tire pressure or confirming the correct tire and rim setup.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
With the wrong tire-inflation pressure on the certification label, an owner can run the truck underinflated for the listed GVWR load. That leaves the tires unable to carry that load and raises the risk of tire failure and a crash. Repair is free at any franchised Peterbilt dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2016 Peterbilt truck is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Peterbilt dealer or Peterbilt customer service to confirm the free corrected Tire and Rim certification label.
- Install the corrected Tire and Rim certification label that shows the proper tire pressure for the truck.
- Reference recall number 15V132 and Peterbilt recall 215-D when you call.
- Avoid using the old label to set tire pressure. Match tire inflation to the corrected label before carrying the maximum GVWR load.
What happens at the repair
For this recall, the repair is a corrected Tire and Rim certification label, not a mechanical part replacement. Peterbilt provides the corrected label free of charge, and a Peterbilt service desk can confirm that the label matches the truck's correct tire pressure information. The recall repair is free. If you already paid for a related label correction, Peterbilt's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Contact Peterbilt customer service with your repair paperwork and ask how to submit the claim.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 15V132?
Recall 15V132 covers 213,230 2006-2016 Peterbilt trucks with Tire and Rim Certification Labels that list tire pressure below the correct amount. Underinflated tires can fail when the truck carries the maximum GVWR load, increasing crash risk. Peterbilt mails the corrected label free of charge.
What should I do if my 2006-2016 Peterbilt 378, 382, 387, 365, 367, 388, 357, 389, 567, 579, 587, 379, or 385 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific truck is included in recall 15V132. If it is, contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000 and reference recall number 15V132 or Peterbilt recall 215-D. Peterbilt provides the corrected Tire and Rim Certification Label for free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to fix the defect at no cost, and Peterbilt's remedy is a corrected Tire and Rim Certification Label mailed free of charge. Keep the corrected label with the truck and follow the tire pressure information it provides.
What is the safety risk?
The risk is tire failure from using the wrong pressure listed on the label. If the tires are underinflated and the truck is carrying the maximum GVWR load, the tires can fail and increase crash risk. Use the corrected label once Peterbilt provides it.
