THE DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR VALVE MAY MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE AN OVERFILL CONDITION IN ONE OF THE FUEL TANKS, RESULTING IN AN OVERFLOW OF FUEL PAST THE FILLER CAP.
Risk: THE OVERFLOW OF FUEL PAST THE FILLER CAP CAUSES A FUELLEAKAGE, WHICH CAN RESULT IN A FIRE WHEN EXPOSED TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION.
Remedy: REPLACE THE DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR VALVE.
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THE SNAP RING THAT LOCATES THE PARK GEAR ON THE OUTPUT SHAFT OF THE TRANSMISSION MAY FRACTURE.
Risk: WHEN THE GEAR IS PLACED IN PARK, THE PARK GEAR WOULD NOTENGAGE, ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO ROLL FREELY IF THE PARKING BRAKE IS NOT PROPERLYSET. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: INSTALL IMPROVED SNAP RING AND REVISED TRANSMISSION EXTENSION HOUSING.
Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.
On certain vehicles equipped with a 5.4L engine, the fuel rail cross-over hose may have intermittent, localized carbon material clumps in the hose wall, which could weaken the hose. Over time a fuel leak may develop. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel rail assembly.
On certain vehicles, the windshield wiper motor may have been produced without grease applied to the output shaft gear. After a period of continuous use on the high-speed setting, lack of grease may cause the gear teeth to distort and/or fracture during operation, resulting in the loss of wiper function. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, apply grease to the output shaft gear.
ON VEHICLES WITH 5.8 LITRE ENGINES, THE VACUUM LINES FOR THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) AND THERMACTOR EMISSIONS SYSTEMS MAY BE DAMAGED BY CONTACT WITH THE EGR VALVE AND TUBE ASSEMBLY. THE VACUUM LINES MAY EITHER DEVELOP A LEAK OR FUSE SHUT FROM THE CONTACT WITH THE HOT EGR VALVE AND TUBE ASSEMBLY. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND VACUUM LINES WILL BE REPAIRED IF NECESSARY. ALL LINES WILL BE REPOSITIONED AND RETAINED WITH A TIE STRAP.
THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH CMVSS 1103 - EXHAUST EMISSIONS. VEHICLES WITH 5.8 LITRE ENGINES AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS ARE AFFECTED
SHIFT ROD IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEATED IN THE RETENTION GORMMET OF THE STEERING COLUMN SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY. IF THE SHIFT ROD WERE TO DISENGAGE THE OPERATOR COULD NO LONGER SELECT THE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONS AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD THEN REMAIN IN THE LAST FUNCTION EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SELECTOR HAD BEEN MOVED TO A POSITION ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER FUNCTION. THIS CREATES THE POTENTIAL FOR AN UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AND PERSONAL INJURIES.
