Peterbilt 579 floor wet in sleeper

I would think that that's the best place for a leak, get a electrical fire going, burn it to the ground and get a truck that doesn't leak, but hey, don't listen to me, I'm tired, lol

 

I used to deliver live tropical fish. Told Freightliner I no longer need a reefer, I'll just put the fish in the instrument cluster.

 

The dealer I worked for, covered each one of them under warranty for that exact customer concern, it only gets fixed if you bring it in with that complaint, they won't call you in, its a campaign that gets addressed when the unit rolls in.

 

Covering it under warranty doesn't mean it's a recall. This is a warrantable failure, of course it would be covered under warranty.

FYI: If there's a recall, or a campaign, customers get notified by Peterbilt. It's not like this stuff is secret. They send letters out.

There's no recall or campaign for this. It's just a failure which warranty would pay for.

 

We have seen the gasket between the sleeper and cab leak at the floor. When you drive in wet conditions the water gets thrown against the bottom of the cab and seeps in. Dealer should fix it up

 

Not to defend them, but just speaking from our own experiences here at our dealership, finding leaks can be really tough. We've had trucks come back several times before we've been able to isolate where a leak comes from. Spraying it with a hose, pressure washer, etc. Even if you know exactly where to look, it can be difficult to actually get it to happen.
