What this means for carriers
What to do now
- Run your VINs. If you bought 2027 Kenworth or Peterbilt sleepers or 2025-2026 VNLs, check each VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup. Don't wait for the letter.
- Team drivers first. The bunk restraint matters most when someone is in the sleeper while the truck moves. Book dealer time for team trucks first.
- Keep the paperwork. Keep proof of the recall repair in the unit file.
Neither recall carries a park-it or park-outside warning from NHTSA.
