2020 Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 4500

The 2020 Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 4500 has 2 recalls, both affecting Crew Cab models with the 6.6L gasoline engine, and both carrying a risk of fire or a no-start condition due to electrical wiring problems.

In the first, the positive battery cable runs too close to the right-side exhaust pipe, and exhaust heat can break down the cable's insulation over time, exposing bare wire that can short and ignite. In the second, the chassis wiring harness can chafe against the coolant return hose running from the radiator to the reservoir; if the hose wears through, leaking coolant can damage the harness and cause an electrical short, an engine stall, or a fire.
