Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with a 7.3L diesel engine, the camshaft position sensor may fail, causing the engine to stall. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the camshaft position sensor.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the speed control deactivation switch may overheat, smoke, or burn, potentially resulting in an underhood fire. The condition may occur either when the vehicle is parked or when it is in operation. Correction: Initially as an interim repair, owners will be instructed to return their vehicles to their dealers to have the speed control deactivation switch disconnected. As soon as replacement parts are available, owners will be instructed to return to the dealers for installation of a new switch or fused wiring harness.
Summary
On certain trucks equipped with an 8 foot box, pickup box attachments may be damaged during the 48 km/h front barrier test. During the subsequent static rollover test required by CMVSS 301 - Fuel System Integrity, a pickup box with damaged attachments may shift or become detached, and may result in fuel spillage exceeding the rate specified in the standard. Also, on all 1999-2000 gasoline powered vehicles with 8-foot boxes, the fuel tank vapour recovery valve may separate internally resulting in excessive fuel spillage during the rollover test. Correction: (1) The box-to-chassis attachment will be augmented by installing pickup box to chassis retaining cables. (2) The front fuel tank strap isolator will be repositioned. (3) A stop plate assembly will be installed on the vehicle frame forward of the fuel tank to prevent vapour recovery valve contact with a frame cross-member during the impact sequence.
Summary
ONE OR MORE OF THE RIVETS ON THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT FLEX COUPLING MAY NOT HAVE BEEN STAKED (FLARED OVER) DURING THE SUB-ASSEMBLY PROCESS. THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN ONE OR MORE RIVETS SEPARATING FROM THE FLEX JOINT RESULTING IN A REDUCTION OR LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT AT THE STEERING GEAR AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT.

CORRECTION: BATTERY CABLES WILL BE INSPECTED FOR POSITIONING AND DAMAGE AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY WITH THE CLIP POSITIONED CORRECTLY.
