Recalls

The dual fuel tank selector valve may malfunction and cause an overfill condition in one of the fuel tanks, resulting in an overflow of fuel past the filler cap.
Risk and remedy
Risk
The overflow of fuel past the filler cap causes a fuelleakage, which can result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition.
Remedy
Replace the dual fuel tank selector valve.
Under certain conditions, the snap ring that locates the park gear on the output shaft of the transmission may fracture.
Risk and remedy
Risk
When the gear IS placed in park, the park gear would notengage, allowing the truck to roll freely if the parking brake IS not properlyset. This could result in an accident.
Remedy
Install improved snap ring and revised transmission extension housing.
