On certain vehicles, a double battery (24 volt) jump start or electrical load dump could result in an overvoltage condition of the linear power module (LPM) which is used to control the heater/air conditioning blower motor speed. If this were to occur, this overvoltage condition could lead to the LPM overheating, causing smoke, and increase the risk of fire, which could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the LPM with an upgraded design.
Certain vehicles destined for emergency vehicle applications and equipped with Maxxforce 7 V8 diesel engines may have been configured inappropriately. Software intended to protect the engine may not have been permanently disabled at time of manufacture and could be inadvertently re-enabled through servicing. Under certain conditions, unintended engine power de-rating and/or shutdown could emergency response operations and put the public at risk. Correction: Dealers will update engine software to disable engine shutdown protocols.
On certain trucks, the sunshade (an exterior visor mounted above the windshield) may not have been fastened to the cab roof correctly during the manufacturing process. A sunshade separating from the vehicle could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, secure the sunshade mounts.
On certain trucks, the fastener that attaches the pitman arm to the right side steering gear may have been tightened beyond its specified torque. An over torque condition may result in bolt fatigue and/or fracture of the fastener and allow the pitman arm to separate from the steering gear resulting in a loss of steering control. A loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the pitman arm fastener.

On certain vehicles equipped with a MaxxForce 7 engine, a cap on the return fuel valve may fall off, allowing air to be drawn into the fuel system. This could result in engine hard start, no start, or stall conditions. Lost vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the return fuel valve assembly.
