The issue
On certain vehicles, the tie rod end can pull outboard and separate from the tie rod tube due to improper thread engagement between the male tie rod end and the female tube. A separation of the tie rod end could result in loss of steering control and a possible crash. Correction: The complete tie rod assembly will be replaced on involved vehicles.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les embouts des biellettes de direction ont tendance à tirer vers l’extérieur et à se séparer du tube des biellettes parce que les filets mâles de l’embout sont mal engagés dans les filets femelles du tube. Si une biellette de direction se détache, le conducteur risque de perdre la maîtrise du véhicule et avoir un accident. Correction : On devra remplacer le jeu complet des biellettes de direction sur les véhicules visés.
