What this recall means for you
On certain 2016 cargo box and work trucks built on GM chassis, repeatedly raising and lowering the rear loading ramp can damage the electrical connections on the fuel sending unit. When this happens, fuel pressure can drop, causing the engine to stall while the vehicle is being driven. A sudden stall increases the risk of a crash.
Owners will be notified by Forest River. Dealers will reinstall the loading ramp structure to provide sufficient clearance, and the repair is free of charge.
