Certain extended cab pickup trucks equipped with high-back bucket seats may have the seat recliner to seat frame attaching bolts loosen, fatigue and fracture, allowing the seat back to suddenly recline. If this were to occur on the driver's seat while the vehicle was in motion, it could lead to sudden loss of vehicle control and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will remove all foam and/or fabric sandwiched between the recliner assembly and the seat frame, install washers between the seat recliner and the seat frame at each attachment point, and install new attaching bolts torqued to a higher specification.

Certain vehicles were built with the polarity of the wiring for the zero adjust brake switch reversed from what was specified. Reversed polarity will cause the contacts of the switch to wear out prematurely. When the contacts wear out they will fail to close when the brake pedal is applied, resulting in the loss of the brake lamps without any warning to the driver. This could result in failure to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and could lead to a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake switch and reverse the wiring.

This condition could result in fuel leakage and in the presence of an ignition source, a fire could occur. Correction: Tank will be inspected for wear and a spacer will be installed between the fuel tank and the front crossmember, or if necessary, the fuel tank will be replaced.

Certain vehicles may have windshield wiper motors with solder joints near the wiring harness connector that could crack.

Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1103 - Exhaust Emissions. Vehicles may been built with the ignition coil wire too close to metal brackets or the transmission fluid fill tube (M/L van only). If the coil wire is too close to these metal objects, arcing may occur and cause failure of the wires which can in turn lead to a stalling/no start condition and/or catalytic converter failures. Correction: coil wire will be repositioned to assure adequate clearance from metal brackets and/or transmission fluid fill tubes.

On certain vehicles, the lower steering shaft to steering gear pinch bolt may be "finger loose" or missing. A "finger loose" bolt could continue to loosen and fall out. With the bolt missing, the steering shaft yoke could wear and jump spines on the steering gear shaft causing an off centre steering wheel. Relative movement between the chassis and cab could cause the steering shaft to separate from the steering gear resulting in loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will inspect for the presence of a pinch bolt and ensure it is torqued to specification.
