Summary
On certain vehicles, the factory-installed Continental ContiTrac tires may experience uneven wear, vibration, or, particularly under condition of overloading or under inflation in high ambient temperatures, separation between the belt edges, which could lead to tread detachment. Tire failure could cause the driver to lose vehicle control, which may result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace affected tires.
Summary
On certain 156 inch wheelbase, 4x4 vehicles, equipped with a two-piece driveshaft, the fuel tank may become damaged during certain crash conditions, which could allow fuel spillage to occur. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire, causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a bracket to limit fuel tank movement during a crash.
Summary
Certain vehicles equipped with an adjustable lumbar support and a 40/20/40 split bench seat or captain's chair bucket seat configuration, may have improper welds at the joint of the seat back pivot bracket and the seat back frame. If the weld fractures while the vehicle is in motion, the seat back may recline unexpectedly. The occupant could lose contact with the steering wheel or foot pedals during such an event, which could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will install a reinforcement to the seat back frame.
Summary
On certain trucks equipped with 6.4L diesel engines, insufficient clearance between the positive battery cable and the right hand splash shield bolt may result in wire chaffing damage and the risk of an electrical short. If this occurs, possible heat or fire damage to the cable and/or other components, either under-hood or near other possible ground points on the vehicle, may occur. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reposition the positive battery cable.
Summary
On certain trucks equipped with 6.4L diesel engines, excessive temperatures in the diesel particulate filter may cause a visible flame out the tailpipe. Excessively hot exhaust or flames emitting from the tailpipe, in the presence of combustible material, may result in a fire, or may result in personal injury if a person is in close proximity to the tailpipe. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module.
