The issue
ON MODELS EQUIPPED WITH FA(W)617 FRONT AXLE AND 20,000 POUND TAPERLEAF SPRINGS IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE DRAG LINK TO PITMAN ARM TOGGLE ANGLE COULD BE GREATER THAN THE ORIGINAL DESIGN CRITERIA. IF, WHEN NEGOTIATING AN EXTREME RIGHT HAND TURN,THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WERE TO DROP INTO A DEEP HOLE, THE STEERING RETURN WOULD BE SLOW WITHOUT WARNING TO THE DRIVER, AND PRESENT GREAT POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH. (VEHICLE LOCATED IN SURREY, B.C.) CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND IF NECESSARY THE LEFT HAND STEERING LEVER WILL BE REPLACED.
Description (français)
Sur les modèles équipés d'un train avant FA(W) 617 et de ressorts à lames coniques d'une capacité de 20,000 lb, il est possible que l'angle entre le bras de commande de direction et la biellette de direction soit trop grand. Si la roue gauche heurte un trou profond alors que le volant est braqué complètement à droite, celui-ci peut mettre du temps à revenir au point mort, ce qui risque d'entraîner un accident.
