Recall 1988060

The issue

THE STEERING SHAFT MAY HAVE INADEQUATE SPLINE ENGAGEMENT IN THE INSTALLED POSITION. FRAME AND CAB ARTICULATION SUCH AS COULD BE EXPERIENCED FROM POTHOLE IMPACTS COULD RESULT IN SHAFT DISENGAGEMENT. THIS WOULD CAUSE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF STEERING AND A POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND WHERE NECESSARY, STEERING SHAFTS WILL BE REPLACED WITH A LONGER SHAFT. NOTE: NO VEHICLES IN CANADA.

Description (français)

L'arbre de direction peut être mal engagé. Les mouvements du châssis, par exemple au passage dans des nids de poule, peuvent provoquer un dégagement de l'arbre de direction et, par conséquent, une perte immédiate de direction, voire un accident.
