What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS BUILT WITH CODE 16XWD (SUNSHADE OPTION CODE). SOME WIRES IN THE SUNSHADE WIRE HARNESS HAD INSULATION THAT DID NOT MEET TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATIONS. SOME HARNESSES HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE ENOUGH MELTED INSULATION TO CREATE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT.
What can happen
IF THE WIRE INSULATION IS MELTED ENOUGH TO CREATE A SHORT, THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE EXISTS. THIS SHORT CAN ALSO OPEN THE CIRCUIT THAT CONTROLS ALL THE MARKER AND TAIL LIGHTS. IF THE TAIL AND MARKER LIGHTS GO OUT, THE VEHICLE COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SUNSHADE WIRE HARNESS.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
