The issue

On certain trucks equipped with a rack & pinion steering system, the lower pinion bearing may corrode and fail. As a result, the vehicle may require additional steering input while driving in a straight line. This could also cause a loss of steering power assist. These issues could ultimately result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the rack and pinion gear assembly. If it passes the inspection, new bellows will be installed and grease added to the bottom pinion bearing. A steering gear that fails the inspection will be replaced.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions munis d'une direction à crémaillère, le roulement de pignon inférieur pourrait se corroder et faire défaut. En conséquence, le véhicule pourrait nécessiter un plus grand effort pour être dirigé en ligne droite, et une perte de l'assistance de la direction pourrait s'ensuivre. Ces problèmes pourraient finir par endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter le mécanisme de direction à crémaillère. Si le mécanisme réussit l'inspection, de nouveaux soufflets devront être posés et de la graisse devra être ajoutée au roulement du pignon du bas. Si le mécanisme échoue l'inspection, il devra être remplacé.
