The issue
THE BRACKETS THAT ATTACH THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY TO THE CAB STRUCTURE MAY FAIL, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IF BOTH STEERING COLUMN MOUNTING BRACKETS FAIL, THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN MAY DROP DOWN INTO THE DRIVER'S LAP AND CAUSE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: STEERING COLUMN SUPPORT BRACKETS WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Description (français)
Les supports qui retiennent la colonne de direction à la cabine peuvent faire défaut sans avertissement même dans des conditions de conduite normales. Si les deux supports de la colonne de direction font défaut, le volant et la colonne de direction peuvent s'affaisser sur les genoux du conducteur, ce qui peut causer une perte de contrôle et entraîner un accident. Correction: Les supports de la colonne de direction devront être remplacés sur les véhicules visés.
