The issue
THE STEERING RACK PROTECTIVE BOOT CAN BECOME DISLODGED WHEN IT BECOMES RIGID OR INFLEXIBLE DUE TO EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES AND CAN SLIP OFF THE RETAINING GROOVE OF THE STEERING HOUSING. THIS WOULD SUBJECT THE STEERING RACK SHAFT TO CORROSION IN AREAS OF HIGH ROAD SALT USE AND RESULT IN STIFF OR HARD STEERING WITH EVENTUAL STEERING RACK SEIZURE. ALL MODELS EXCEPT BRAT MODELS.
Description (français)
La gaine de protection de la crémaillère de direction peut sortir de la rainure de retenue sur le boîtier de direction et glisser hors de sa place si elle durcit par suite d'un froid intense. Si le véhicule circule sur des routes abondamment salée, l'arbre de la crémaillère peut se rouiller, devenir dur à actionner et même se bloquer.
