45 recalls announced in the last 30 days. Newest first - each one shows the problem, the risk, the free fix and every vehicle it covers.
The knuckle stop nuts are too short, possibly resulting in failure of the nut under heavy steering force. This may allow the wheel to rotate too far to the right or left, permitting the tire to contact other vehicle parts.
There is a possibility that failure of the trailing arm may occur, causing the rear wheels to lock-up.
Corrosive damage and increased electrical resistance may cause the fuel pump relay to stop functioning. The fuel pump relay is one of several relays on a relay board located near the firewall. Corrosion caused by rain entering an improperly sealed antenna...
The automatic speed control switch may stick in the "resume" position restricting return movement. This will not allow the normal brake pedal operation to deactivate the system.
The underhood wiring harness and ventilating hose may have been misrouted during vehicle assembly. Misrouting may cause chafing between the harness and various other components, resulting in short circuits and malfunction of electrical accessories. The switch...
Defective automatic headlamp dimmer relays were installed in the affected vehicles. The contacts are subject to deterioration which may result in loss of high or low beams, or possibly both.
The left and right outer tie rod ends of the steering system may have circumferential cracks due to an improper machine set-up in the manufacturing process.
The involved vehicles may not meet the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "Fuel system integrity". In a moving barrier impact test from the rear at 30 mph, the fastener attaching the fuel sender ground wire to the frame...
The housing plates on the driver seat back latch recliner assemblies were manufactured with substandard material products. This tainted steel was used to produce seatback latches for both the right and left side seat assemblies. Under certain conditions, the...
The four bolts used to attach each fuel tank support bracket to the frame contain "quench cracks" due to improper heat treatment in the manufacturing process. These defective bolts could give way, allowing the fuel tank to become dislodged from the bracket or...
The safety chain bale portion of the towing attachment may have a defective weld in a critical area. If the trailer hitch should become unlatched or in the event of an accident causing the truck and trailer to become separated, the resulting forces could...
On the involved vehicles, both the air brake hose connections and the air pressure gauges for the duel brake feature may have been connected in reverse order. Incorrectly connected brake hoses in combination with an air leak in either the primary or secondary...
Under certain conditions, the rear brakes could lock up without prior warning during high deceleration braking. The problem may be caused by defective proportioner valves in the braking system.
Inadequate weld positioning coupled with radius rod load and loosening of the spring clip nuts could cause spring seat fracture. This can result in loss of directional control of the axle.
The stop lamp switches installed on the subject vehicles may have inadequate internal switch contact pressure due to an incorrect formation of the switch contact terminals. This lack of switch contact continuity may render the (stop) brake warning lights...
Some of the involved vehicles have an electrically ungrounded fuel inlet. These vehicles are subject to static charge accumulation at the fuel filler pipe opening, which can occur if these vehicles are refueled from an electrically ungrounded dispensing...
The retaining pin for the brake control knob has been misaligned (off the center line of the valve plunger hole). This causes the knob to be overstressed at the retaining pin hole area causing it to separate from the valve.
Due to a deficiency in material strength, the front engine support brackets on the involved vehicles may develop cracks that could lead to bracket failure. This would cause the engine to drop down into the radiator, damaging the shroud, engine fan, and other...
Some vehicles equipped with power brake boosters have front and rear shells that may have been improperly joined. Improperly joined booster shells may separate either partially or completely during brake application.
