On certain trucks, water intrusion in the ignition relay may result in corrosion, causing a potential short-circuit and failure of the relay. Failure of the relay could cause an engine shut down without prior warning or create a situation where the vehicle cannot be started. This failure may affect the control of the vehicle, resulting in the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the ignition relay.
