The problem

THE HARNESS, IF SECURED TO THE STEERING SHAFT, COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO WIRING ENTANGLEMENT AT THE GEARBOX UNIVERSAL JOINT.
Risk
THIS COULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH REDUCED VEHICLE CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
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.
