StructureReported January 20, 1999 · 3,210 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Vehicle description: fire trucks. The cab tilt system contains a 12 volt electrical solenoid assembly as an accessory to the cab tilt electric motor/hydraulic pump assembly. Rain, snow, salt spray or other corrosive environment can corrode the solenoid or "bridge" the energizing coil wire terminal causing the cab tilt system to operate uncontrollably.
Risk
This could cause the cab tilt system to actuate without control, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Remedy
Dealers will install a hermetically sealed solenoid assembly.

Recall number 99V010000 · Recall details

Electrical system: wiringReported March 11, 1996 · 160 vehicles affected
What is wrong
The electrical harness power distribution center was mounted behind the kick panel in the step well area of the truck, and the unsealed connectors, if exposed to water, could result in stray voltage, shorting, or corrosion.
Risk
If the unsealed connectors experience a condition that allowed moisture to enter, the engine can experience electronic throttle control problems. The foot operated throttle would not be able to control the electronic-governed engine speed, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new electrical harness with sealed connectors and relocating the power distribution center.
