THE REAR ENGINE SUPPORT BRACKET IS COMPOSED OF MATERIALS OF INSUFFICIENT STRENGTH.  NORMAL VEHICLE VIBRATIONS MAY CAUSE THE BRACKET TO CRACK. Built 1998\-02\-27 to 2004\-01\-05.
- [05V304000](/recalls/nhtsa/05V304000.md), 2005-06-29: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT. ON CERTAIN MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS, RUST BUILD\-UP ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION \(A/T\) SHIFT LINKAGE MAY CAUSE THE LINKAGE TO BIND.

Built 1998\-02\-27 to 2004\-01\-05.
- [05V303000](/recalls/nhtsa/05V303000.md), 2005-06-29: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. ON CERTAIN MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS, THE REAR ENGINE SUPPORT BRACKET IS COMPOSED OF MATERIALS OF INSUFFICIENT STRENGTH.  NORMAL VEHICLE VIBRATIONS MAY CAUSE THE BRACKET TO CRACK. Built 1998\-02\-27 to 2004\-01\-05.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2008172](/recalls/tc/2008172.md), 2008-05-15: Engine. On certain vehicles, normal heat emanating from the exhaust pipe may cause the shift linkage installed as part of campaign 2005194 \(C1003610\) to bind.  As a result, the effort required to operate the automatic transmission shift control lever may increase.  In the worst case, the shift control lever may become inoperative, or the transmission gear position indicated on the shift lever housing may not match the actual gear selection at the transmission.  Correction: Dealers will install a modified shift control lever assembly.
- [2008171](/recalls/tc/2008171.md), 2008-05-15: Engine. On certain vehicles, the rear engine support bracket is composed of materials of insufficient strength.  Normal vehicle vibrations may cause the bracket to crack.  If the vehicle is continually operated in this condition, the bracket may break apart.  In the worst case, the transmission could drop out of alignment with the driver train.  Correction: Dealers will install a modified rear engine support bracket.
- [2005195](/recalls/tc/2005195.md), 2005-06-29: Engine. On certain vehicles, the rear engine support bracket is composed of materials of insufficient strength.  Normal vehicle vibrations may cause the bracket to crack.  If the vehicle is continually operated in this condition, the bracket may break apart.  In the worst case, the transmission could drop out of alignment with the driver train.  Correction: Dealers will install a modified rear engine support bracket.
- [2005194](/recalls/tc/2005194.md), 2005-06-29: Powertrain. On certain vehicles, rust build\-up on the automatic transmission shift linkage, due to an insufficient corrosion inhibiting ability, may cause the linkage the bind.  As a result, the effort required to operate the shift control lever may increase.  In the worst case, the shift control lever may become inoperative, or the transmission gear position indicated on the shift lever housing may not match the actual gear selection at the transmission.  Correction: Dealers will install a modified shift control lever assembly.  Note: This recall is superseded by recall 2008172.
