The issue
On certain vehicles, the clamp nuts for the center link tie rods may have been inadequately tightened. Inadequately tightened clamp nuts could lead to the tie rods separating from the center link possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Owner notification including repair instructions for inspecting tie rod end clamp lock nuts will be supplied.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les écrous de serrage des biellettes de direction des barres d'accouplement ne sont pas toujours suffisamment serrés. Il se peut donc que les biellettes de direction se détachent des barres d'accouplement et que le conducteur perde la maîtrise du véhicule. Correction : Un avis de défaut et bulletin de service contenant une description des étapes à suivre pour inspecter les écrous de serrage des embouts des biellettes de direction sera fourni aux propriétaires.
