The issue
THE NEWLY DESIGNED STEERING CENTRELINKS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAKAGE AT A BEND LOCATION. SHOULD A FRACTURE OCCUR, VEHICLE STEERING WOULD BE DIMINISHED, ALLOWING REDUCED CONTROL OF THE LEFT WHEEL ONLY. CORRECTION: STEERING CENTRELINK WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Description (français)
Les nouvelles tiges intermédiaires qui équipent la direction de ces véhicules peuvent se briser dans un coude. Si la tige se brise, le véhicule devient difficile à contrôler parce que seule la roue gauche reste asservie à la direction.
