On certain trucks, the positive battery cable (between the battery and the starter) could chafe against a convoluted tubing which, over time, could cause abrasion damage to the cable insulation, possibly resulting in an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the positive battery cable between the battery and the starter.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain trucks, both vertical front spring bracket bolts on the right hand or left hand front spring hanger bracket could become loose and cause increased stress on the spring bracket itself. As a result, the spring bracket may crack, causing reduced steering responsiveness. Depending on traffic conditions and the driver's reactions, this could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.

On certain trucks, the parking brake cable and automatic transmission shifter cable may have been routed incorrectly during vehicle assembly. This could cause chaffing, and eventual failure of the parking brake cable. Parking brake cable failure could allow the truck to roll away while parked, which could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, re-route or replace the parking brake cable.
