Recall 1997147

The issue

On certain vehicles, the pinion bearing cage in the steering gear could separate under high steering load conditions. This could result in the pinion gear disengaging from the rack, causing degradation or loss of steering control and could result in a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the manual steering gear assembly.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le boîtier du pignon d’attaque de la direction peut se disloquer si la direction est soumise à des charges très élevées. Il se pourrait alors que le pignon se désolidarise de la crémaillère et qu’une importante dégradation et même une perte totale de la direction s’ensuive, ce qui pourrait causer un accident imprévisible. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les boîtiers de direction manuels.
