The issue

On certain school buses, the pinch bolt of the upper steering shaft may not have been tightened to the proper specification. This could lead to a loss of the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and front axle wheels, resulting in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and ensure proper torque of the upper steering shaft pinch bolt.

Description (français)

Le boulon de serrage de l'arbre de direction supérieur de certain autobus scolaires pourrait ne pas avoir été serré au bon couple de serrage, ce qui pourrait faire perdre la connexion mécanique entre la roue de direction et les roues de l'essieu arrière, causant une perte de la direction et augmentant les risques de blessures et/ou de dommages matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent inspecter les pièces et s'assurer que le bon couple a été appliqué au boulon de serrage de l'arbre de direction supérieur.
