What is wrong

Peterbilt is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 model 325, 330, 335, 337, 340, and 348 trucks. The hood anti-blowdown device is designed to prevent unintended and unexpected hood closure. The device within can become hindered or inoperative due to unintentional latch movement which interferes with the hood pivot j-hook, latch misalignment, or latch fallout.

What could happen

An unintended latch closure can cause personal injury.
