The issue
THE RIGHT SIDE TIE ROD STEERING ARM MAY HAVE MISSED THE REQUIRED HEAT TREAT OPERATION DURING FABRICATION. WITH THIS DEFECT, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT AT A LOW LOAD LEVEL, AN IMPACT FAILURE OF THE TIE ROD STEERING ARM MAY OCCUR. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT STEERING CONTROL AND RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: RIGHT TIE ROD STEERING ARM WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Description (français)
Le levier de fusée de la biellette de direction droite peut ne pas avoir été traité thermiquement lors de sa fabrication. Pour cette raison, à un bas niveau de charge, le levier de fusée peut se casser sous l'effet d'un impact et causer une perte de maîtrise de la direction, voire un accident.
