1 complaints about the 2018 Peterbilt 567
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Vehicle would wander left and right within the lane once up to about 40 mph. Symptoms felt as if alignment was off, or as if tires were following a rut in the pavement. Once vehicle was loaded, steering wheel would be clocked about 10-15 degrees to the left while vehicle tracked straight. Driver would have to continuously apply corrective input to the steering wheel to keep the vehicle from diving left and right while at highway speeds. Issue was determined to be steering box failure, due to incorrect length of one of the steering box mounting bolts installed at manufacturing facility. *Tt *tr
