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.
In the involved trucks it is possible the adjustable steering column rear mounting bracket could fail, allowing steering wheel assembly to fall down onto the operator"s lap.
On the involved vehicles, there is the possibility that fuel wetting in the drain plug area of the fuel tank could exist. This is caused by a possible soldering inconsistency at the drain plug flange of the fuel tank or an inconsistency of fitting between the...
It has been determined that two screws that are part of the bearing assembly located at the cab dash sheet may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the upper steering shaft may be free to "float" throughout much of its length which may result in...
The two mounting bolts for each of the left and right side front calipers have been improperly torqued during assembly. The torque wrench used in the assembly may have been mechanically defective.
The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 106, "Brake hoses". These vehicles were manufactured with gasoline fuel hoses in place of the vacuum hose between the intake manifold and carbon canister in the power brake...
Due to an improperly sealed antenna mounting hole, water could seap into the fuse relay board. The water entering the fuse relay board acts as a conductor of current, thereby charging the starter.
The involved vehicles were produced with brake push-rod to brake pedal retaining pins which were not heat-treated as specified. This could allow the brake pedal to become disengaged from the push-rod.
The engine oil pressure switch may cause a random internal electrical short which could result in the engine starting by itself when the ignition switch is turned to the "on" position.
The involved vehicles were built with an accelerator pedal having an extension, or rubber flap, at the bottom of the pedal. This pedal flap could be inadvertently displaced by a floor covering and wedged under the accelerator pedal in a manner that can...
Some vehicles were produced with brake control valves and brake tubes intended for use in vehicles without trailer tow packages.
Some of these vehicles were produced with misindexed front brake hoses which could contact a tire or wheel in a full-turn condition. Chafing and wear to the brake hose could result in loss of brake fluid and front wheel braking capability.
The front brake hose routing may allow interference between the hoses and the tire and wheel assemblies during extreme turning angles.
Lower control arms may fracture in the area adjacent to the lower ball joint, resulting in separation of the ball joint from the arm.
The internal muffler pressure can create a split in the seam if the muffler is in a deteriorated condition. If this condition exists, the exhaust gas escaping from the split seam can cause excessive heating of a small area of the rear storage compartment.
An incorrect fluid was used as an assembly aid (lubrication) during installation of the piston seal in front brake calipers which were installed in 10.5" X 1" disc brake assemblies used on "a" series cars. The incorrect fluid attacks the piston seal and...
The headlamp relay may fail in such a way as to cause the headlamps to fail to switch from low to high beam (or vice versa) when the control switch is operated. Also, the headlamps may shut off intermittently or completely.
The front suspension coil spring may have a larger than desired inside diameter of the lower coil where it rests on the spring seat. This could allow the spring to be forced over the lower spring seat due to suspension forces.
The longitudinal body bars at the rear control arm location may not have been adequately welded into the structure. Some of these bars may have been pulled down from the body during shipment with resulting damage to the brake or fuel lines. Separation of the...
Fuel hoses may be incorrectly positioned and contact the right front drive axle boot during vehicle operation. After a period of time, the rotating boot could wear a hole in the fuel hose, resulting in fule leakage.
