Certain vehicles equipped with Peterbilt's SmartGage system containing a Reduced Function Interface Module (RFIM). This module receives data from various components/systems on the vehicle then sends the information to a microprocessor. A manufacturing defect in the RFIM's can allow water to penetrate into the pressure block portion of the module, causing an electrical short in the pressure transducer connector. his results in an erroneous air pressure reading on the gauge in the dash. Correction: The RFIM date code will be inspected and all RFIM's built prior to September 9, 2000 will be replaced.

On certain vehicles, the side fairing hinge bar and mounts may detach from the fuel tank straps. The hinge bar has brackets that due to thickness may crack causing the detachment. Once detached the hinge bar can rotate and separate from the fairing, allowing the hinge bar assembly to fall off the vehicle. Correction: A nutplate doubler plate will be added behind the skirt bracket to eliminate the cracking of the bracket. If the bracket is cracked, the fuel tank strap will be replaced with a new strap and bracket assembly.
