Built 2014\-07\-14 to 2015\-10\-13. ## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19 - [2017170](/recalls/tc/2017170.md), 2017-03-24: Electrical. On certain vehicles, the chassis power distribution center may not have been sealed properly. This could result in moisture ingress, which could lead to an electrical short and fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the chassis power distribution center with a design using sealed modules to eliminate exposure to moisture and improved abrasion resistance. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2016\-345. Vehicles repaired under the previous recall will require re\-inspection and repair. - [2017169](/recalls/tc/2017169.md), 2017-03-24: Electrical. On certain vehicles, the ground trace in the cab power distribution center circuit board may not adequately carry the required maximum electrical load demands of the circuit. Failure of the ground trace could result a possible fire, which would increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will relocate the ground path from the circuit board directly to the cab ground stud. - [2016345](/recalls/tc/2016345.md), 2016-07-04: Electrical. On certain vehicles, the fasteners that are used to attach the circuit board to the vehicle within the chassis power distribution center may not be protected from chaffing or abrasions as they are not insulated from the board. As a result, the distribution center circuit board can experience abrasion resulting in unintended grounding of the circuit board. This can result in an electrical short and fire, which would increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install nylon washers at the mounting points of the chassis electrical distribution center. Note: This recall is superseded by recall 2017\-170. - [2016344](/recalls/tc/2016344.md), 2016-07-04: Brakes. On certain vehicles, the air tank mounted pressure sensors may not be consistently accurate. This could cause inaccurate brake system air pressure values to be displayed by the dash gauge. If this occurs, the operator would not have correct information regarding the brake system air pressure, increasing risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. This could also result in activation of the low air warning and the setting of the spring brakes at a dash gauge reading higher than expected. Correction: Dealers will replace the air pressure sensors with accurate sensors. ## 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.
