The issue
On certain trucks, an incorrectly manufactured steering gear sector shaft may cause the steering to "stick or bind". This could severely restrict the steering turning angle, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering gear assembly.
Description (français)
Sur certains camions, un axe de secteur denté de boîtier de direction mal fabriqué pourrait faire en sorte que la direction se coince ou se bloque. Cela pourrait diminuer grandement l'angle de braquage, ce qui pourrait causer un accident avec blessés ou pertes de vie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le boîtier de direction.
