VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH AN ANTI\-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM \(ABS\). SOME VEHICLES MAY HAVE INADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT TIRE/WHEEL AND THE BRAKE HOSE/ABS SENSOR WIRE ASSEMBLY. DURING FULL LOCK TURNS, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE TIRE OR WHEEL TO CONTACT THE BRAKE HOSE/ABS SENSOR WIRE ASSEMBLY. Built 1999\-07\-08 to 1999\-09\-03. - [00V107000](/recalls/nhtsa/00V107000.md), 2000-04-11: TRAILER HITCHES. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH OPTIONAL TRAILER HITCH.

Built 1998\-01\-01 to 1999\-09\-30. - [00V007000](/recalls/nhtsa/00V007000.md), 2000-01-11: SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS. THE WELDS AT THE RIGHT SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM BRACKET TO AXLE TUBE ATTACHMENT MAY HAVE INADEQUATE FATIGUE LIFE DUE TO POOR WELD QUALITY. THIS CAN LEAD TO SEPARATION OF THE CONTROL ARM BRACKET FROM THE AXLE TUBE. Built 1999\-10\-03 to 1999\-11\-05. ## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19 - [2003334](/recalls/tc/2003334.md), 2003-12-15: Wheels. On certain 4x4 pickup trucks equipped with the snow plow package, the gross axle weight ratings may exceed the maximum tire load capacity as defined in CMVSS 120 \-Tire selection and rims for vehicles other than passenger cars. Correction: Dealer will replace all existing tires including the full size spare, if applicable. - [2001118](/recalls/tc/2001118.md), 2001-05-10: Seats And Restraints. On certain vehicles, the sound deadener material internal to the air bag clock spring may detach rendering the air bag inoperative. Correction: Dealers will replace the clockspring. - [2001053](/recalls/tc/2001053.md), 2001-03-08: Brakes. Certain 4X4 pickup trucks may have inadequate clearance between the front tire/wheel and the brake hose/ABS sensor wire assembly. During full lock turns, it is possible for the tire or wheel to contact the brake hose/ABS sensor wire assembly, ultimately resulting in damage to the sensor wire and the possibility of a hole in the brake hose. This could result in loss of braking force at the front wheels. Correction: Dealers will inspect affected vehicles and correct the hose/ABS sensor wire contact condition where required. The front brake hose assemblies will be replaced and the ABS sensor wire will be inspected and replaced if necessary. - [2000106](/recalls/tc/2000106.md), 2000-04-17: Structure. On certain pickup trucks, the trailer hitch side brackets were manufactured using materials with insufficient physical properties \(i.e. yield and tensile strength\). After extended usage, brackets built without proper material may fatigue and fracture in the area where the trailer hitch mounts to the frame. This could result in separation of the towed unit creating a possible road hazard and crash. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and any trailer hitch that exhibits evidence of fatigue cracking will be replaced. If there is no evidence of cracking, two reinforcement plates will be installed. - [2000034](/recalls/tc/2000034.md), 2000-02-17: Suspension. On certain pickup trucks, the welds at the right side lower control arm \(LCA\) bracket\-to\-axle\-tube attachment may have inadequate fatigue life due to poor weld quality. Inadequate fatigue life may lead to separation of the LCA bracket from the axle tube. If the bracket separates, the vehicle may experience reduced directional stability, braking degradation and/or vehicle pull under braking. Correction: Front axle will be replaced with a properly welded front axle. ## Check a VIN - [NHTSA recall lookup by VIN, United States](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls) - [Transport Canada recall search, Canada](https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng) Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada.
