What's wrong?
The seat belt anchorage assembly is the hardware that fastens each seat belt to the truck cab structure. In the 2011-2016 Peterbilt 337, 348, and 382 trucks covered by this recall, the trucks were converted from conventional day cabs to crew cabs. Those added seating positions still depend on fixed anchor points to hold the belt in place when the belt is loaded.
On affected trucks, the anchorage assembly for the seat belt is not secured as required for that load. Under crash forces or a hard restraint load, the assembly can come unanchored from the cab structure. When that happens, the belt no longer holds the occupant against the seat as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The belt can latch and feel normal during daily use, while the anchor problem only shows up when the belt is forced to hold weight under load.

What's the safety risk?
A seat belt anchor that pulls away can leave the occupant improperly secured during a crash, increasing injury risk. Until the repair is completed, avoid relying on an affected seating position for passengers when another safe seat is available. Repair will be free at any franchised Peterbilt dealer once available.
