Correcton: Dealers will remove and replace all affected tie rods and drag links with different designed ends. |
| 2001104 | 2001-05-16. Suspension. On certain vehicles, the rear suspension is regularly subjected to extreme articulation, resulting in flexing of the joint.

On certain vehicles, the main cab power and battery leads were attached incorrectly to the same side of the 135A circuit breaker when this circuit breaker was mounted in the optional firewall location rather than in the standard battery box location. This condition resulted on the main cab power circuit being unprotected. If a wiring short occurred anywhere along the cab power circuit, the available battery power could arc and cause a possible fire. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and wiring corrected as required. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
