  • Recall 21V953000Dec 9, 202120,668 vehiclesModel years 2008–2010

    Risk: The unexpected release of the parking brake may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 15V275000May 11, 20152,124 vehiclesModel years 2011–2016

    Risk: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there could be an increased risk of a fire.

  • Recall 14V208000Apr 18, 201444,047 vehiclesModel years 2010–2014

    Risk: A failure of the hazard warning lights could reduce the trucks visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 14V137000Mar 24, 20141,934 vehiclesModel years 2011–2015

    Risk: The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.

  • Recall 13V619000Nov 29, 201339 vehiclesModel years 2014

    Risk: If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.

  • Recall 13V492000Oct 17, 20131,155 vehiclesModel years 2013–2014

    Risk: If the nut comes loose, the hub assembly may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 13V195000May 13, 20135,203 vehiclesModel years 2013–2014

    Risk: A loss of brake function at one wheel will lead to increased stopping distances and pulling to the left or right when braking, which may increase the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 12V519000Oct 18, 2012260 vehiclesModel years 2008–2009

    Risk: If the control box loses ground, it may have localized overheating. This could lead to a vehicle fire.

  • Recall 12V096000Mar 8, 2012318 vehiclesModel years 2011–2012

    Risk: In the event of an electrical short, a vehicle fire may result.

  • Recall 12V067000Feb 21, 20124,032 vehiclesModel years 2009–2011

    Risk: Complete fractures can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 11V295000May 20, 2011584 vehiclesModel years 2012

    Risk: This can result in seam weld fracture when torque is applied. Once the tube seam weld is fractured, the driveline may become inoperable which may result in a disabled vehicle or debris from the driveline may fall on the roadway, both of which can increase the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 11V272000May 3, 20111,524 vehiclesModel years 2011–2012

    Risk: Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.
