Recall 1999227

The issue

On certain vehicles, the steering gear unit internal end-of-travel stops may have missed the heat treat process, resulting in soft internal travel stops. Soft steering gear internal travel stops could be damaged in normal use and result in sticking, binding, or seizing of the steering gear and the potential for reduced steering control. This could increase the risk of a crash without prior warning. Correction: Steering gear assemblies will be inspected for a suspect build date code and those containing a suspect build date code will be replaced.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, il se peut que les butées de fin de course internes du boîtier de direction n’aient pas subi de traitement thermique et qu’elles soient plus molles que prévu. Il se peut donc qu’elles s’endommagent excessivement en cours d’usage normal et que le boîtier de direction se coince, se bloque ou grippe, ce qui risque de faire perdre au conducteur la maîtrise de son véhicule. Correction : Les boîtiers de direction devront être inspectés et ceux qui portent un certain code de montage devront être remplacés.
