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: Dealers will install a new switch or fused wiring harness. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2005028 \(05S28\) for vehicles not previously included in the campaign. - [2008038](/recalls/tc/2008038.md), 2008-02-06: Electrical. On certain vehicles, a wiring harness that is not compatible with the vehicle circuit polarity may have been inadvertently installed during servicing for recall 2005028 or 2007258. As a result, the fuse is located in the output circuit rather than in the input power feed circuit, and will not offer the intended protection in the event of an electrical short to ground. This could result in a vehicle fire, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install an updated wiring harness. - [2007258](/recalls/tc/2007258.md), 2007-08-07: Electrical. On certain vehicles, the speed control deactivation switch may overheat, smoke, or burn, potentially resulting in an underhood fire. The failure mode appears to be different than that of Recall 2005028 \(05S28\). This time, the concern is with long term durability performance issues causing the switch to fail. 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 fused wiring harness designed to eliminate the potential risk of fire. - [2001078](/recalls/tc/2001078.md), 2001-04-05: Fuel System. On certain vehicles equipped with ambulance prep package and a 132.5L mid\-ship fuel tank, when operating in severe service conditions \(at or near Gross Vehicle Weight Rating with frequent body twist events that may occur during off road, rough road or speed bump events\), the mid\-ship fuel tank may develop an approximately one\-inch long crack where it contacts the frame cross member. This could result in fuel leakage with the potential for fire. Correction: Fuel tanks will be inspected and replaced if necessary. In addition, insulators will be installed to reduce stress levels in the fuel tank and reduce the likelihood of future cracks. ## 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.
