Recall 2015485

The issue

On certain vehicles built with a front axle built by Detroit Axles, the steering arm bolt may not have been sufficiently tightened at time of assembly. This could allow the bolt to loosen and potentially result in the separation of the steering arm from the steering knuckle, which could result in a loss of steering. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the bolt torque and re-tighten or replace as necessary.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules construits avec un essieu avant fabriqué par Detroit Axles, le boulon du bras de direction pourrait ne pas avoir été assez serré lors de l'assemblage. Cela pourrait permettre au boulon de se desserrer et, par conséquent, causer le détachement du bras de direction du porte-fusée de direction, ce qui pourrait causer une perte de direction. Cela pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront vérifier si le boulon est bien serré et le resserrer ou le remplacer au besoin.
