• Steering#2015375August 17, 2015

  9 units affected

  On certain vehicles, The cut out in the trim panel may restrict the trailer hand brake handle from returning to the off position, causing the trailer service brakes to drag.

Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the trim panel if necessary.

• Tires#2014528November 20, 2014

  6 units affected

  On certain vehicles with a governed road speed setting of 113 kilometers per hour (70MPH) or more that are outfitted with 295/60 R22.5 XZA2 Energy Tires and used in an auto transport application (i.e. truck modified with frame mounted to the truck to carry automobiles over the truck's front axle), a premature tire failure may occur on the front or steer axle as a result of certain operating conditions (high speeds, load and road temperature). A tire failure could cause the driver to lose vehicle control, which may result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the tires and set the road speed governor.

• Visual System#2013275August 9, 2013

  3,287 units affected

This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a micro-switch at the brake pedal and update the software to run a diagnostic on the switch during engine start-up.
