What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2013 Peterbilt 367 is the truck's factory weight-rating label. It lists the gross axle weight rating, which is the limit for each axle, and the gross vehicle weight rating, which is the total loaded weight limit for the truck. Owners, upfitters, inspectors, and service shops use those numbers to confirm how the truck is configured and loaded.
On the recalled trucks, the label information did not match the axle configuration. The trucks were first ordered as part of a fleet with pusher axles, then the order was split and the pusher axle was removed from most trucks. The truck specification changed, but some certification labels were not updated, leaving incorrect GAWR and GVWR information on the vehicle.
There is no warning sign before failure. The defect is printed on the label, not a part that wears out or changes while driving, so the issue is found by checking the label against the truck's actual build and corrected certification information.

What's the safety risk?
Incorrect weight-rating labels can lead an owner or shop to load the 2013 Peterbilt 367 beyond its rated axle or vehicle capacity. Overloading changes how the truck brakes, handles, and carries weight, which increases the risk of a crash. Until the label is replaced, verify weight limits with a Peterbilt dealer before loading near capacity. Repair is free at any franchised Peterbilt dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013 Peterbilt 367 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Peterbilt dealer to schedule the free certification-label replacement, which corrects the GAWR and GVWR information used to prevent overloading.
- Bring the recall notice if Peterbilt mailed one. If not, reference recall number 16V632 when you call.
- Avoid loading the truck near its axle or vehicle weight limits until the corrected label is installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Peterbilt technician replaces the certification labels so the truck shows the correct gross axle weight rating and gross vehicle weight rating information. The recall repair is available now, and the replacement label and labor are free under the recall. This label repair does not change the truck's hardware. It corrects the official weight information on the vehicle so owners, drivers, inspectors, and service shops have the right ratings when loading or checking the truck.
