Recalls have been issued by several truck makers for range of problems including with seat belts, lighting, tie-rod assemblies and missing certification labels.

Paccar is recalling 565 2004-2013 Peterbilt 379, 357, 378, 367, 388, 365, 389, 385 and 386 trucks manufactured from April 3, 2003, through Oct. 25, 2013 that are equipped with tri-drive rear axles.

The affected vehicles may be missing required information from the certification label, specifically the tag or pusher axle the gross axle weight rating, suitable tire and rim information, and recommended tire pressure information. Without this information, the vehicles do not comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations 49 C.F.R. Part 567, "Certification."

As a result, the axles may be overloaded or the wrong tires could be installed or the tires could be improperly inflated, increasing the risk of a crash

Peterbilt will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the certification labels missing the necessary information. The recall is expected to begin in January 2014

Customers can contact Peterbilt at 1-940-591-4000.

Peterbilt's number for this campaign is 1113-F.

Paccar is also recalling 5,087 model year 2014 Kenworth T170, T270, T370, T440, T470, T660, T680, T700, T880, and W900 trucks.

The stop-tail-turn lamp can shrink and cause the lamp to fall out of the mounted retention ring, making the vehicle so it does not conform to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 108 "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." This could also increase the chances of a vehicle crash if other drivers don't see light.

Kenworth will notify owners and dealers will replace the defective STT lamps with new lamps provided by Grote. A notification schedule has yet to be published.

Customers may contact Paccar at 1-425-468-8228.

A failure of the tie rod assembly may result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Customers may contact DTNA at 1-800-547-0712.

Finally, Daimler Trucks North America, Volvo Trucks North America and Mack Trucks are recalling trucks for seat belt problems. All are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles.

When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch and  making these vehicles so they fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered, resulting in an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident or emergency.
