Description (français)

Il se peut que les filets du boulon de serrage du levier de commande aient été endommagés lors du serrage et que, par conséquent, il y ait trop de jeu entre le levier et le boîtier de direction. Il peut s'ensuivre que les cannelures du levier ainsi que celles du boîtier de direction soient aussi arrachées subitement et entraînent la perte de la maîtrise du véhicule et un accident.
