The issue
THE INSTALLATION OF THE STEERING ARM PINCH BOLT ON THESE VEHICLES MAY BE DEFECTIVE. IF THIS BOLT FAILS OR LOOSENS, AND COMES OUT, THE PITMAN ARM MAY SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR, CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHICH MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND A NEW BOLT, LOCKNUT AND WASHERS WILL BE INSTALLED IF NECESSARY.
Description (français)
En raison d'un défaut d'installation, le boulon de serrage du levier de direction risque de se briser ou de se désserrer et de sortir de son logement. La bielle de connection pourrait alors se détacher du pignon de direction et causer une perte totale et non prévisible de la maîtrise de la direction, ce qui pourrait résulter en un accident.
