519 of 25,867 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY YOKES MAY BE OF AN INCORRECT FORGING STEEL WHICH COULD RESULT IN BRITTLE WELDS BETWEEN THE YOKE AND ITS SHAFT. FAILURE OF THE WELD COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF STEERING.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 114. The steering wheel does not lock when the key is removed from the ignition switch using the optionally provided override device that permits key removal in the event of electrical system failure or when the transmission is not in the PARK position.
No risk description available.
Since this does not pose any safety risk, no corrective action is required.
On certain vehicles, the threshold for the power window auto-reverse function may be higher than the design specification. This could result in personal injury if a body part becomes trapped by the closing window.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace both window switches.
On a small number of vehicles, a software problem could cause the emergency calling (eCall) system not to work properly when there's a crash or when the SOS button is pressed.
If the eCall system doesn't work in an emergency situation, there could be a delay in response from emergency services.
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the communication module software.
On certain vehicles, the galvanized-braided-steel tailgate support cables used to support the tailgate in the full open (horizontal) position can corrode over time and fracture when loads are applied to them. Tailgate support cable corrosion may not be visible because of the plastic sheathing covering the cable. If one cable fractured, the remaining cable may retain the tailgate in a horizontal position. If the remaining cable was weakened by corrosion, it could fracture within moments of the first cable fracture. If both cables fractured, the tailgate would suddenly drop approximately 10 degrees and strike the top surface of the rear bumper. If anyone is sitting or standing on the horizontal surface of the tailgate when both cables fracture, they could fall and be injured. On vehicles without a rear bumper, the tailgate may drop to a lower position.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the existing galvanized support cables with stainless steel support cables.
On certain vehicles, incorrectly manufactured rear axle hub nuts could, in time, loosen, and allow the halfshaft to disengage from the wheel hub assembly. This could cause the vehicle to lose propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the rear axle hub nuts.
Certain Dodge Ram 2500/3500 Heavy Duty pickup trucks equipped with a diesel engine and automatic transmission may experience inadvertent rearward movement. The transmission shift lever position is always displayed as "R" (Reverse) until the parking pawl is completely engaged in the Park position. Only then will the transmission shift lever indicator show "P" (Park). If the driver exits the vehicle while the engine is running, parking brake not engaged and the transmission shifter not fully in the Park gate, the vehicle may experience delayed rearward movement, which could cause a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install an Out-of-Park alarm that will alert the operator if the transmission is not fully placed in the Park position when the engine is running and the driver takes his foot off the brake and opens the driver's door.
On certain vehicles, the power steering cooler hose may separate from the power brake booster fluid flow switch assembly. If this occurs, power steering fluid could flow onto hot engine parts and an engine compartment fire could occur.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect, and, if necessary, install three new screw clamps to the power steering hose joints.
On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable retention nuts may not have been adequately tightened during vehicle assembly. Should they loosen, the throttle may be prevented from opening or closing normally. This could result in a loss of vehicle propulsion or make it difficult to slow or stop the motorcycle unless the clutch lever is depressed. Depending on traffic and road conditions, and the rider’s reactions, either issue could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will tighten the throttle cable retention nuts to the specified torque.
NOTE: DUAL REAR WHEEL SUPER CAB VEHICLES. THE JACKS INSTALLED IN THESE VEHICLES ARE TOO LARGE TO BE PROPERLY SECURED UNDERNEATH THE REAR SEAT. A LOOSE JACK CAN MOVE ABOUT THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY INJURING AN OCCUPANT DURING A CRASH OR SUDDEN STOP.
No risk description available.
A NEW JACK WILL BE PROVIDED AND INSTALLED CORRECTLY BENEATH THE REAR SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAB.
On certain motorcycles, the battery case may not retain the battery as intended. The case could suffer heat deformation, allowing the battery to become unstable.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a bracket kit to reinforce the battery case.
On certain vehicles, the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system may not function as intended. In some instances, this could allow the tires to lose traction and the vehicle to skid without intervention by the VSA system. If the vehicle strikes a curb or slides off the roadway, it could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will reprogram the Vehicle Stability Assist software.
Certain vehicles may have incorrect payload information on the vehicle certification label. The payload shown on the label is greater than the maximum validated payload. If the vehicle is loaded to the incorrectly labeled payload, it may not ride and handle in the manner expected by the operator and could lead to loss of vehicle control and and/or an inability to stop the vehicle within expected stopping distances.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a new label, directing operators to their owner's manual for payload information.
On certain vehicles, moisture can accumulate on the throttle cable. In freezing conditions, excessive moisture build-up can result in ice accumulation and resistance to movement. This can permit the throttle cable to be hung-up or to jump out of position, which could result in a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the throttle cable.
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a trailer reverse steering module (TRSCM).
A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the trailer reverse steering module software.
On certain vehicles equipped with a 4.0L engine, the crankshaft position sensor wiring insulation may crack and expose the wire. In the presence of moisture, this may result in sensor malfunction, which could cause the engine to stall.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace the crankshaft position sensor.
On certain vehicles, an error with the engine software could cause the engine to stall. This would also result in a loss of power steering assist and power brake assist. A sudden engine stall, when combined with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will update the engine software.
On certain vehicles, the digital engine management control unit was not produced according to specifications. As a result, engine stalling will occur after a short period of operation. The vehicle may not be able to be restarted. Also, a loss of power steering and, after repeated actuation of the brake pedal, a loss of brake power assistance will occur. If stalling were to occur, the driver would be unable to maintain vehicle speed or accelerate. Steering and braking, while possible, would be difficult. Depending on traffic conditions and the driver's reactions, this could lead to a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the digital engine management control unit.
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 212 - Windshield Mounting. The windshield urethane bead may not have adhered to the body in certain areas during the cure process. As a result, the windshield may not be retained during a vehicle crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the windshield.
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S 115 - VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. THE FOURTH CHARACTERS OF THE V.I.N. PLATE WHICH IS AFFIXED TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE CODED "F" RATHER THAN "E". "E" IS THE APPROPRIATE CODE FOR THESE 7000 POUND GVWR VEHICLES. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE NINTH CHARACTER (CHECK DIGIT) OF THE V.I.N. IS ALSO INCORRECT. ONLY THE V.I.N. PLATE IS IN ERROR. THE SAFETY CERTIFICATION LABELS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS ON WHICH THE VEHICLE'S V.I.N. IS LISTED DISPLAY THE CORRECT V.I.N.
No risk description available.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INCORRECT V.I.N. PLATES.
