Affected:
9,102
Defect:
On certain trucks, the nut used to retain the steering shaft may or may not be a lock nut that has the locking feature. a lock nut is required to provide additional resistance to ensure that the nut does not come loose.
Consequence:
If the nut were to come loose, the steering shaft could potentially separate resulting in loss of steering control which could cause a crash.
Correction:

Component:
Fuel system, diesel
Manufactured:
12/04/2006 - 03/06/2007
Affected:
677
Defect:
On certain trucks, an unprotected lead in the thermoswitch of the heater may make contact with another post possibly creating a short circuit, which can result in continuous operation of the heating element.
Consequence:
If the condition exists and the key is left on without fuel in the filter, the heating element may heat to a point where a flame becomes present at the tip of the element which could result in a vehicle fire.
Correction:

Manufactured:
01/08/2006 - 06/28/2007
Affected:
6,519
Defect:
On certain trucks equipped with a saf holland simplex fifth wheel, the lever arm pivot bolt may have been over tightened. an over tightened pivot bolt can distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve, which may prevent the fifth wheel latch jaw from closing and latching securely around the trailer king pin.
Consequence:
There is a possibility that the pivot bolt can become loose without the driver's knowledge. when this occurs, the driver could drive away and the trailer could become disengaged, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
