- Fuel filter head connector. Recall 12V524000 affects 6,520 vehicles where an improperly machined connector can disconnect the fuel line from the fuel filter head, causing fuel leaks and fire hazards. Replacement of the fuel filter head is performed at no charge.
- Transmission oil cooler hoses. Recall 13V421000 involves 600 trucks with hose clamps lacking sufficient force, risking ATF leaks that may disable transmission shifting and increase crash risk. Hose clamps will be replaced under the recall.
- Engine timing chain bolt. Recall 15V195000 impacts 25 vehicles due to a bolt that may be insufficiently tightened causing oil leaks, engine seizure, and crash risk. Dealers will properly torque the bolt.
- Diesel fuel return hose. Recall 15V850000 affects 9,456 trucks where chemical exposure can deteriorate and detach the fuel return hose, raising fire risks. Inspections and replacements with improved hoses are provided.
- Automatic transmission oil cooler hose. Recall 14V605000 covers 9,138 trucks with hoses that may burst causing ATF leaks and potentially disabling the transmission. Affected hoses will be replaced free of charge.
- Transmission contamination. Recall 14V046000 impacts 7,819 vehicles where insufficient cleaning during manufacture allows debris to contaminate ATF resulting in transmission failure and possible stalling. Dealers will inspect, flush, and repair transmissions as needed.
- Brake pad shims. Recall 15V504000 involves 7,104 trucks with shims that can rust or corrode from road treatment chemicals, increasing brake pedal travel and stopping distance. Steel shims will be replaced with stainless steel versions.
- Crankcase ventilation heater wiring. Recall 16V116000 affects 853 trucks equipped with an optional PVC heater kit where wiring may chafe and short circuit, increasing fire risk. The heater will be replaced.
- Fire extinguisher equipment. Recall 18V047000 covers 1,153 trucks equipped with certain Kidde fire extinguishers that may clog or detach, preventing proper operation during a fire and potentially causing injury. Owners are instructed to contact Kidde for replacement extinguishers.
Owners facing repeated repairs, safety defects, or unresolved recall issues related to these recalls may have rights under state lemon laws. Consulting a consumer protection attorney could clarify those rights.
