Recall 1994050

The issue

NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DOUGLAS AUTOTECH TILT STEERING COLUMN. THE UPPER STEERING SHAFT RETAINING BALL MAY HAVE BEEN OMITTED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD ALLOW THE UPPER SHAFT TO TELESCOPE OUT TOO FAR AND DISENGAGE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS DRAWN TO ITS MAXIMUM EXTENDED POSITION. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND STEERING COLUMNS WITH NO UPPER SHAFT RETAINING BALL WILL BE REPLACED.

Description (français)

Nota: Véhicules équipés de la colonne de direction inclinable Douglas Autotech. Il se peut que lors du montage, on ait omis d'installer la bille qui rattache la partie supérieure de l'arbre de direction à la colonne de direction. Sans cette bille, la partie supérieure de l'arbre peut se détacher de la colonne si le volant est placé dans sa position d'extension maximale. Correction: Les véhicules devront être inspectés et les colonnes de direction sans bille de retenue sur la partie supérieur de l'arbre devront être remplacées.
