  Risk: Tie rod separation can result in a sudden loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 21V394000May 26, 20212,416 vehiclesModel years 2017–2021

  Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

• Recall 21V222000Mar 30, 20214 vehiclesModel years 2016–2018

  Risk: The excessive brightness may negatively affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 18V756000Oct 26, 2018717 vehiclesModel years 2017–2018

  Risk: If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 18V050000Jan 11, 2018123 vehiclesModel years 2015–2016

  Risk: A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.

• Recall 17V570000Sep 14, 201756 vehiclesModel years 2015–2016

  Risk: If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 16V585000Aug 5, 2016470 vehiclesModel years 2015–2016

  Risk: If the power output cannot be changed, once the fire truck arrives at the scene, it may not be able to pump water to aid in extinguishing the fire, increasing the risk of injury.

• Recall 16V390000Jun 1, 2016114 vehiclesModel years 2015–2016

  Risk: If the strainer and/or debris enters the pump, and the operator is forced to shut down the pump, reducing firefighting effectiveness, there could be an increased risk of injury.

• Recall 16V148000Mar 10, 2016267 vehiclesModel years 2014–2016

  Risk: If coolant leaks into the passenger compartment, it may contact electrical components causing a shorting of circuits and a loss of function of features controlled by those circuits, including loss of power to vehicle which may result in a stall and increase the risk of a crash. The hot coolant may also contact occupants and possibly cause burn injuries.

• Recall 16V123000Mar 2, 2016239 vehiclesModel years 2016

  Risk: If the cap was not properly tightened, the cap may detach from the vehicle and become a road hazard. Additionally, the universal joint may separate and the vehicle may not be able to be driven, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 15V760000Nov 16, 2015186 vehiclesModel years 2013–2015

  Risk: An unexpected surge in water pressure to the fire hose can increase the risk of injury to the hose operator or those nearby.

• Recall 15V706000Oct 26, 20155 vehiclesModel years 2015–2016

  Risk: If the hex nuts are not tightened to specification, the driveshaft may disconnect from the drive axle, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 15V174000Mar 25, 20158 vehiclesDo not driveModel years 2015

  Risk: If the leaf spring spacer block fractures, the pieces may become a road hazard. If the entire spacer block separates from the vehicle, the alignment of the rear axle may suddenly shift. Either condition could increase the risk of a crash.

• Recall 13V518000Oct 22, 2013349 vehiclesModel years 2009–2013

  Risk: The absence of trailer turn signals may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 11V551000Nov 10, 201159 vehiclesModel years 2011

  Risk: If the door opens, the scba cylinders may fall out of the compartment and onto the roadway, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to pedestrians.

• Recall 11V527000Nov 1, 2011724 vehiclesModel years 2009–2011

  Risk: If the driver is slow to react during this esc intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 11V422000Aug 17, 201118 vehiclesModel years 2011

  Risk: If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. If both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/dpf housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.

• Recall 11V384000Jul 26, 20116,803 vehiclesModel years 2005–2006

  Risk: The vehicles may lose power and stall. In addition, the fuel tank may rupture and spill diesel fuel on the roadway. Either of these outcomes may cause a fire truck or surrounding vehicles to slip or slide on the roadway surface, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 10V425000Sep 21, 201055 vehiclesModel years 2010

  Risk: If this happens, a short circuit may result in a fire.

• Recall 10V300000Jun 28, 201025 vehiclesModel years 2005–2009

  Risk: If this occurs the fire hose may drop to the roadway without warning. Potential injury to people and property may occur. The sudden hose deployment may also distract drivers trying to avoid the hose and a crash may occur.
