Details
What's wrong: On certain 4-wheel drive pickup trucks, the totally integrated power module (tipm) may contain incorrect transfer case calibration set points, potentially resulting in inadvertent transfer case default to neutral.
Why it matters: If this occurs and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away and cause a crash without warning.
The fix: Dealers will reprogram the tipm with new software that prevents the potential for this condition. The recall began on November 7, 2005.
