The issue
On certain trucks the cotter pin that goes through the drag link ball stud at the connection to the pitman arm is missing. This pin prevents the castellated nut from loosening. If the nut loosens and comes completely off the drag link ball stud, the drag link could detach resulting in a loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will inspect the vehicle and have a cotter pin installed if found to be missing.
Description (français)
On aurait omis sur certains camions de poser la goupille fendue qui passe à travers le pivot sphérique de la barre d'accouplement au niveau de la bielle pendante. La goupille empêche l'écrou crénelé de se desserrer. Si l'écrou se desserre et tombe, il se peut que la bielle pendante se détache, entraînant une perte de contrôle. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter le véhicule et poser la goupille fendue en question s'il y a lieu.
