If ignored, this defect increases crash risk. Repairs are performed free of charge.
- U-joint attachment bolts. Recall 10V157000 covers 726 trucks with potentially loose U-joint bolts on the axle. Loose bolts cause driveline vibration, which if ignored, can result in bolt failure and separation of the propeller shaft, creating a road hazard and crash risk. Repairs are free.
- Main B+ circuit wiring. Recall 12V555000 involves 35,142 medium duty trucks from model years 2005 through 2013, including the NV8J, where wear on the battery-to-starter wiring can cause short circuits to ground, potentially leading to fire. Owners will be notified for free repairs.
- Battery cable wear. Also under recall 12V555000, the cables for 12V/24V/48V batteries may wear and short to ground from interference with tubing sheaths, presenting a fire risk. Dealers will replace affected parts at no charge.
- Exhaust system bolts. Recall 10V156000 affects 89 trucks with vertical exhaust pipes that may have bolts improperly tightened during assembly. These bolts could fail causing the exhaust system to detach and fall onto the roadway, creating a crash hazard. Repairs are provided for free.
Owners facing repeated repairs or unresolved safety recalls may have rights under their state lemon laws. Consulting a consumer protection attorney familiar with automotive defects could provide guidance on potential next steps.
