Details

What's wrong: These vehicles may have been built with bolts that were not properly hardened. The bolts were used to attach the cab and the core support to the frame.

Why it matters: This condition can allow the cab to separate from the frame increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace these bolts with properly hardened bolts.
