Recall 1987120

The issue

VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH THE KEYWAY ON THE RIGHT HAND STEERING ARM IN THE WRONG LOCATION. WITH THE WHEEL IN AN EXTREME LEFT HAND TURN AND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL UNSUPPORTED (I.E., FALLING IN A POTHOLE), A TOGGLE CONDITION COULD OCCUR. THE RESULTING SLOW STEERING RETURN COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT STEERING CONTROL WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: INCORRECT STEERING ARMS WILL BE REPLACED.

Description (français)

Il se peut que la clavette-du bras de direction droit ne soit pas au bon endroit. Dans une situation où le volant est braqué complètement à gauche et où la roue droite n'est pas supporte (dans un nid de poules, par exemple), un basculement peut se produire. Le volant met alors plus de temps à revenir au point mort, ce qui peut gêner la maîtrise du véhicule et provoquer un accident.
