- Brake chamber defect. Recall 14V758000 affects 1,580 vehicles with Haldex Life Seal brake chambers causing brake drag due to an improperly seated diaphragm. This condition may result in loss of vehicle control at highway speeds. Dealers will inspect and repair the brake chambers free of charge.
- Brake chamber replacement. Recall 15V185000 involves 3,732 trucks equipped with Haldex Life Seal brake chambers, where brake drag may occur. The remedy requires replacing the brake chambers at no cost to owners.
- Front axle hub failure. Recall 16V634000 covers 156 trucks with Conmet aluminum non-high capacity hubs. The front axle weight limit may exceed hub capacity, risking wheel separation and increased crash risk. Dealers will replace affected hubs free of charge.
- Rear reflective tape visibility. Recall 20V214000 affects 63,175 vehicles with rear reflective tape partially covered by the mudflap hanger bracket. This reduces visibility and may increase crash risk. Dealers will reposition the tape at no charge.
- Tie-rod assembly failure. Recall 18V503000 includes 1,256 trucks with early tie-rod tube failure caused by high vibrations from certain brake component combinations. A tie-rod failure results in loss of steering ability and higher crash risk. Brake linings, brake spider, and tie-rod will be replaced free of charge.
- Fire extinguisher malfunction. Recall 17V810000 involves 24,860 trucks with Kidde fire extinguishers that may clog, require excessive force to activate, or have nozzles that detach. This failure could prevent extinguishing a fire and increase injury risk. Owners will be instructed to obtain a free replacement extinguisher from Kidde.
Owners facing repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues involving critical safety components may have rights under their state’s lemon law.

In certain front axle, brake lining, and brake spider combinations, braking may cause high vibrations, resulting in early failure of the tie-rod tube.
Risk: A tie-rod failure would cause a disconnect between the front wheels, resulting in a loss of steering ability, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

These vehicles are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher.
