2 recalls covering model years 2019. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
A sensor that measures brake pressure may leak brake fluid into a nearby switch. That leak can cause an electrical short, which can overheat and raise the risk of a fire, whether the truck is being driven or parked.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
If the vehicle's body control module loses contact with the brake control module, the ABS warning light on the dashboard may not turn on even when the anti-lock brake system isn't working correctly. That means a driver might not realize there's a brake problem. Dealers will update the body control module software to fix this, free of charge.
