The issue
On certain trucks, the drag link may weaken as the result of contact with the steering box in a hard left hand turn with full compression of the front springs. This could result in loss of steering control and a possible vehicle crash. Correction: Drag link will be replaced with one of a new design.
Description (français)
Sur certains camions, la barre de direction peut faiblir et briser à la suite de contacts répétés le boîtier de direction lorsque le véhicule effectue un virage à gauche serré et que les ressorts avant sont comprimés à fond. Ceci peut entraîner une perte de maîtrise du véhicule et causer un accident.
