The issue

On certain trucks, the weld around the steering shaft tube, which joins the splined tube to the non-splined intermediate tube, may be mislocated. An improperly located weld bead may allow the splined tube and non-splined tube to rotate relative one another during a low speed, high torque turn, resulting in a possible separation of the tubes. This could cause a loss of steering control which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering shaft.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions, la soudure autour du tube de l'axe de direction qui joint le tube cannelé au tube non cannelé peut être mal placée. L'erreur de positionnement de la soudure peut permettre au tube cannelé et au tube non cannelé de tourner en rapport l'un avec l'autre pendant un virage à faible vitesse et à couple élevé, ce qui causerait une séparation possible des deux tubes. Une séparation des tubes susmentionnés causerait une perte de maîtrise de la direction, ce qui produirait le risque d'une collision causant des dommages aux biens matériels, des blessures corporelles ou entraîner des pertes de vie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, le cas échéant, remplacer le tube de l'axe de direction.
