Recall 1996206

The issue

THE STEERING COLUMN LOWER PINCH BOLT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION. THIS COULD RESULT IN RATTLE AND LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. IF THE PINCH BOLT WERE BACKED OUT OF THE JOINT COMPLETELY, ROTATION OF THE STEERING SHAFT AGAINST THE CONNECTOR IN HIGH EFFORT STEERING MANEUVERS COULD CAUSE INCREASING LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING SYSTEM AND COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING AND A CRASH. CORRECTION: STEERING COLUMN PINCH BOLT WILL BE INSPECTED AND IF NECESSARY TIGHTENED TO SPECIFIED TORQUE.

Description (français)

Il se peut que le boulon de pincement inférieur de la colonne de direction ait été serré moins que ne l’exigeaient les spécifications. La direction peut alors claquer ou se desserrer. Si le boulon de pincement sort complètement du joint, la rotation de l’arbre de direction contre le raccord, dans un virage serré, pourrait, en accroissant le jeu de la direction, causer la perte de la maîtrise du véhicule et un accident.
