The 2006 Chevrolet W3500 has two recalls, with the most serious being a fuel tank that can corrode and leak fuel, raising the risk of a fire if a source of ignition is nearby.
The second recall involves oil pipe bolts that can loosen over time, allowing engine oil to seep or leak past the seals. If enough oil is lost, the engine can seize while the truck is moving, causing sudden deceleration and raising the risk of a crash.
