Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Your Truck

NHTSA recall information identifies concerns that can affect safe control and vehicle protection. Over-cured Continental tires may lose air or separate, while an affected steering stabilizer kit could contribute to steering lock. A tailgate wiring short may release cargo into traffic, and a reversed backup-camera image could lead to the wrong steering response. DRLs that do not dim may reduce other drivers' visibility. Seat-belt pretensioner sparks may ignite carpet or insulation, and block-heater cable damage may overheat wiring or create a fire risk. Waiting leaves these potential hazards unresolved, so arrange a VIN check and recall inspection promptly.
