Category Light Truck & Van, Truck - Med. & H.D.

Recall Details
Issue: On certain vehicles, a wire harness in the rear of the vehicle could be damaged by contact with the vehicle frame.

Note: This problem may cause the check engine light and/or ABS and traction control warning lights to turn on. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could create the risk of a crash. Additionally, a loss of ABS and/or RSC could also increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to inspect the wire harness for damage.

Manufacturer Recall Number 581762
Units Affected  6,697

If the driver relies on the Auto-P feature in these situations, the vehicle could keep moving or roll away. Safety Risk: Sudden and unexpected movement of the vehicle could create a risk of injury or a crash. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will provide owners with a booklet that properly describes the Auto-P function.

Corrective Actions: Isuzu will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the left-rear brake line to ensure it was installed properly.
