Details

What's wrong: Certain trucks equipped with dual rear wheels fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment." The trucks may have been inadvertently manufactured without the roof mounted cab clearance lamps.

Why it matters: Without these lamps, other vehicle operators may not detect the increased width of the vehicle which could cause a crash without warning.

The fix: Dealers will install cab clearance lights free of charge. The recall began on March 20, 2006.
