The issue
On certain vehicles, the tie rod end clamp bolts may not have been tightened to the correct specification. As a result, the tie rod ends could loosen, corrode, and eventually separate from the tie rod, resulting in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace tie rod assembly where the factory installed assembly has not been replaced.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les boulons de blocage d'embout de biellette de direction pourraient avoir été mal serrés. Par conséquent, les embouts de biellette de direction pourraient se desserrer, se corroder et, éventuellement, se détacher de la biellette de direction, ce qui causerait une perte de contrôle de la direction et augmenterait ainsi les risques de collision pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la biellette de direction si la biellette de direction installée en usine n'a pas été remplacée.
