The issue
ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DANA FA-337 OR FA-343 FRONT AXLES, THE NUTS WHICH FASTEN THE TIE ROD ENDS TO THE TIE ROD STEERING ARMS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY TORQUED. INSUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED TIE ROD END NUTS COULD PROGRESSIVELY LOOSEN, SHEAR OFF THE LOCKING COTTER PIN AND ALLOW THE TIE ROD TO SEPARATE FROM THE TIE ROD STEERING ARM. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: TIE ROD END MOUNTING NUTS WILL BE BROUGHT UP TO TORQUE AS REQUIRED.
Description (français)
Sur les véhicules dotés d'essieux Dana FA-337 ou FA-343, l'écrou fixant l'extrémité de la biellette de direction au levier de fusée peut être insuffisamment serré. Il risque alors de se desserrer graduellement, de chasser en la coupant la goupille fendue et de permettre ainsi à la biellette de direction de se détacher brusquement du levier de fusée, d'où la possibilité d'un accident.
