Over the years I've received some recalls for things from air bags to seat belt tension sensors to rear end mount bolts, but this is a topper: "...vehicle may have been built with a loose 12 volt body ground cable fastener." From the notice, the truck won't shut down, but it may result in "...intermittent loss of power steering assist with inconsistent steering effort required by the driver." Going through the forum, I did notice a steering problem that came up in an October 2018 discussion, that seems related. Anyone else get a recall notice for this?

Got mine today also. Will let them check ground. Clean all yours grounds every couple years even if they look good and eliminate a lot of problems. Learned that with my 05 Hemi when you could not turn off lights.

Got my "official" notification Saturday but it has already been done when I took my truck in for an oil change. They have known about it a while so can only wonder why it took so long to be notified.
