- Fuel System#2016526
12 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine and a middle position fuel tank, there could be inadequate adhesion between the protective shield and the fuel conditioning module. This could allow for the the shield to be dislodged by road debris or water spray, which could force open the drain valve on the module. If the drain valve were to be forced open, this could result in substantial fuel leak. It could also allow for air ingress into the fuel system, which may cause the engine to stumble. A substantial fuel leak on a road surface could increase the risk of a crash, and a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the adhesive mounted protective shield on the fuel conditioning module with a bolt-on metallic protective shield.
- Powertrain#2011426
2,765 units affected
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 102 - Transmission Control Functions. The Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) switch may have been incorrectly manufactured and could fail. This would allow the transmission gear shift lever to be moved out of the PARK position without depressing the brake pedal. Depending which gear the driver selects, the vehicle could begin to move forward or backward immediately. This movement could result in property damage, or cause the vehicle to strike a bystander, potentially resulting in personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the BTSI switch.
- Electrical#2010463
3,243 units affected
On certain vehicles, the Body Control Module (BCM) may develop an internal short. If an electrical short occurs, an overheating condition may result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the Body Control Module.
