Description (français)

Sur les modèles à double timonerie de direction, les barres d'accouplement peuvent avoir été mal montées; les têtes des brides de serrage qu'elles comportent aux extrémités sont en effet tournées vers le bas. Les boulons des brides peuvent frotter contre la poutre de 1'essieu et provoquer un durcissement de la direction ou son blocage en cours de virage. Le blocage brusque de la direction peut entralner la perte de maîtrise du véhicule et un accident est alors possible.
