Recall 2010200

The issue

On certain trucks, the fastener that clamps the pitman arm to the steering gear shaft may not have been torqued to specifications during vehicle assembly. This could cause wear of the interconnecting splines of the arm and shaft, possibly allowing the pitman arm to slip over the shaft, resulting in a reduction of steering control which could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the tubular shaped spacer bracket with a solid spacer block.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions, le dispositif de fixation qui fixe la bielle pendante à l'arbre du boîtier de direction pourrait ne pas avoir été serré conformément aux spécifications et pourrait user les cannelures d'interconnexion de la bielle et de l'arbre. Cela pourrait permettre à la bielle pendante de glisser sur l'arbre, diminuerait le contrôle de la direction et augmenterait les risques d'accident pouvant endommager des biens matériels, blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vies. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le support d'espacement tubulaire par un bloc d'espacement plein.
