This could result in additional effort to turn the steering wheel with reduced vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will reroute the wiring harness to the cargo light switch away from the steering column shaft. The recall began on july 7, 2006. Owners may contact utilimaster at 1‑800‑237‑7806.
