Known issues on the 2007 C6500 Kodiak. One recall touches this year, and it concerns equipment fitted above the cab on service bodies built up from the chassis: a defective heater element in a ceiling air conditioning unit that can smoke or spark and start a fire. Owners have filed three complaints: one on the stability control system, one on the parking brake and one on visibility. Work of that kind sits squarely in this manual, in the parking brake adjustment specifications and in the wiring diagrams and diagnostic routines behind the cab's circuits.
