Summary: On certain truck bodies built on Ford lcf cab chassis, the wiring harness (consisting of wires and split conduit) to the cargo light switch located on the dash may be incorrectly routed. The harness, if secured to the steering shaft, could possibly lead to wiring entanglement at the gearbox universal joint.
Consequence: This could result in additional effort to turn the steering wheel with reduced vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: 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.
Notes: Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Utilimaster been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Utilimaster dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
