Equipment

Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed

Summary: Certain honeywell fram racing brand HP4 and HP8 oil filters that were manufactured from may 25, 2006, through September 14, 2007, and sold for use as replacement equipment for vehicles list above. The affected filters are marked with a date code A61451 through A72571 sequentially. The date code and part number appear on the filter housing. Fram racing HP4 and HP8 oil filters not bearing a date code in this range are not affected by this recall. The gasket of the oil filter becomes more pliable under high temperatures and pressures.
Consequence: This condition may cause inadequate sealing and loss of engine oil, possibly resulting in a fire.
Remedy: Honeywell will replace the affected oil filters free of charge. The recall began during November 2007. Owners can contact fram customer service toll-free at 1-800-890-2075.

Exterior lighting › Brake lights › Switch

Summary: Vehicle description: pickup trucks, crew cabs, utility trucks and sport utility vehicles. These vehicles were built with the polarity of the wiring for the zero adjust brake switch reversed from what was specified on the switch drawing. With the reversed polarity, the contacts in the brake switch can wear out prematurely. The brake switch will perform normally until the brake switch contacts wear out, resulting in loss of the brake lamps without any warning to the driver.
Consequence: This would fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and could lead to a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the brake switch and reverse the wiring.
