Recall 2002061

The issue

Certain Class 8 heavy-duty trucks equipped with R.H. Sheppard M90 steering gears. An incorrect hose was used for the high-pressure line between the power steering pump and the steering gear. The hose is rated at 2000 PSI, while it should be rated at 3000 PSI. This hose could develop a leak or burst while in service. Should the line burst, steering control would still be maintained, but a loss of power assist will be experienced. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering hose.

Description (français)

Vise certains poids lourds de la classe 8 équipés du boîtier de direction R.H. Sheppard M90. On n'a pas monté le bon tuyau flexible sur la conduite haute pression entre la pompe de la servodirection et le boîtier de direction. Ce flexible convient à 2 000 lb/po² de pression tandis que la pression nominale du circuit est de 3 000 lb/po². Il se peut donc que ce flexible se mette à fuir ou éclate, ce qui entraînerait une panne de la servodirection et pourrait avoir une incidence sur le comportement routier du véhicule. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le tuyau flexible du boîtier de direction.
