These LFNA trucks have a front axle sway bar link that may come loose on the frame rail end and fall into the path of the drag link, possibly binding the steering system.

If the sway bar link detaches and falls into the drag link, it may impact the ability of the vehicle to steer properly, increasing the risk of a crash.

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the upper sway bar link attachment for a hardened washer installed between the bushing and the nut, installing a washer if it is missing, free of charge.

2015-2017 Ram ProMaster City

Chrysler is recalling certain Ram ProMaster City vehicles. These vehicles have incorrect information on the tire placard including incorrect vehicle capacity weight, total number of occupants, tire pressure and/or “None” designation for the spare tire size when a full size spare tire is present. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, “Tire Selection and Rims.”

The incorrect tire placard can cause the operator to exceed the vehicle’s weight capacity or inflate the tires to an incorrect pressure, affecting vehicle handling, which can increase the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect tire placard with a corrected one, free of charge.

2017 Ford F-150, F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD

2015 Ford F-650 SD, F-750 SD

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain trucks equipped with certain Spicer D-Series and E-Series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.
