Recalls- Electrical system wiring. Recall 23V819000 affects 6 trucks produced between 2018 and 2020. Firmware failure in the multiplex system can cause overloaded circuits that may overheat and increase fire risk. The fix involves a free firmware update from Ferrara working with the equipment manufacturer.
- Diesel fuel injection fuel rail. Recall 22V020000 covers 29 vehicles from 2019 to 2022. Fatigue and cracks in fuel tubes may cause high pressure fuel leaks, increasing fire risk. Dealers install vibration isolators or replace tubes free of charge depending on engine mileage.
- Front suspension shocks. Recall 19V677000 for 25 trucks built from 2015 to 2019. Front shocks may detach from upper mounts and damage the steering gear housing. This can cause steering fluid leaks and loss of power steering assist, increasing crash risk. Repair includes inspection and fixing the issue free of charge.
- Steering critical fasteners. Recall 21V134000 applies to 10 2019-2020 vehicles. Steering gear mounting bolts can loosen, causing steering difficulties and raising crash risk. Dealers replace bolts and washers at no cost.
- Duplicate steering fasteners recall. The same recall number 21V134000 also lists suspension components affected in the same 10 vehicles with identical risks and repairs as noted above.
- Fuel system high pressure leak. Recall 21V349000 affects 259 vehicles from 2017 to 2020. Improper seating of sealing washers can cause leaks in the fuel rail assembly, increasing fire risk. Dealers inspect and replace components free of charge.
- Brake lights malfunction. Recall 18V613000 involving 108 vehicles from 2017 to 2019. Whelen accessory brake lights may illuminate without brake pedal input, violating FMVSS 108 and potentially confusing drivers. Repairs include replacement of the brake lights free of charge.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs, unresolved recall notifications, or safety concerns should explore their rights under state lemon laws. Having documentation of repair attempts and recall communications can support such claims.
