Recall 2001262

The issue

Certain heavy duty class 8 trucks. The wrong steering column to steering gear shaft may have been installed in these vehicles. Using the shorter VNM steering shaft could result in steering shaft being operated (steering shaft column extended adjustment) outside the normal operating range of the steering shaft over time this condition could result in accelerated wear in the shaft with the potential for loss of steering as a result. Correction : Dealers will install the correct lower steering shaft.

Description (français)

Il se peut que l'on ait posé le mauvais arbre entre la colonne de direction et le boîtier de direction sur certains camions lourds de classe 8. Parce qu'on a utilisé un arbre de direction plus court (celui du modèle VNM) sur ces camions, il est appelé à fonctionner, même allongé au maximum, en dehors de sa plage normale d'utilisation, ce qui, à la longue, peut entraîner son usure prématurée et mener à une perte de contrôle. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser le bon arbre de direction inférieur.
