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.
A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
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.

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.

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.
A failure of this component (fuel system) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain vehicles, the lug nuts could potentially bottom out on the shoulder of the studs when used in a single rear wheel application. If this occurs, there could be inadequate clamp load to attach the wheel to the axle. This could potentially result in loss of a rear wheel while the vehicle is being driven. Correction: Rear wheel attaching studs will be replaced with a revised stud having a different profile that precludes the interference with the lug nuts.
A failure of this component (suspension) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
Certain vehicles equipped with the "60/40" hinged side cargo doors do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 206 - Door Latches. The striker on the door latch which secures the 60% door to the 40% door may contain stress cracks at the striker wire lower stake joint. As a result, the door latch may not sustain the loads specified by the standard. Correction: Door striker will be replaced on affected vehicles.
A failure of this component (structure) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
Certain sehicles have a carry over 1998 level speedometer driven gear, which results in up to a 14% lower speedometer reading than the actual vehicle speed. This could result in the vehicle being driven at an unsafe or illegal speed should the driver not realize that his vehicle road speed is greater than the speedometer indication. Correction: Dealers will install the correct speedometer gear.
A failure of this component (lights and instruments) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
