Issue

On certain trucks equipped with an air suspension dump valve option, a software error could cause the rear suspension to reinflate without warning when the operator turns the key to the "off" position. The unexpected re-inflation of the suspension could result in physical injury to a person near the rear suspension. Correction: Dealers will reprogram vehicles with updated software.
