TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PETERBILT 386 TRACTOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REGENERATION CYCLE RELATED TO THE DIESEL ENGINE (USED TO BURN SOOT FROM THE EXHAUST) WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT NONE OF THE REMEDIES WERE SUFFICIENT. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V487000; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT ASSIST. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,680 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000.
