Recall 1996160

The issue

On certain vehicles, the intermediate steering shaft may become loose at the steering shaft to steering gear coupling. With this looseness the yoke pinch bolt can wear on the splines of the shaft until there is no longer an interference between the splines and the bolt. This could cause the steering shaft to separate from the steering gear resulting in a total loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will retorque the yoke pinch bolts.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, il se peut que l’arbre de direction intermédiaire prenne du jeu au niveau de l’accouplement entre l’arbre et la boîte de direction. Si le jeu devient excessif, le boulon de pincement de la fourchette peut s’user sur les cannelures de l’arbre jusqu’à ce qu’il n’y ait plus d’interférence entre les cannelures et le boulon. L’arbre de direction pourrait alors se séparer de la boîte de direction, entraînant une perte totale du contrôle de la direction. Correction: Les concessionnaires devront resserrer les boulons de pincement de la fourchette.
