This is a re-release of this recall.  They were finding in the field that trucks that had the original recall 20760 were not performed properly at dealers.  Some peeps must have had something happen after the recall was performed the first time.  Instructions were quite straight forward, so it seems that some techs did not follow properly.

Power steering recall is older news to the '14 owners.

I had mine fixed a year ago.

All software update and takes less tha 30 min.

But new news for the 15 owners and covers a wider range of vehicles.
