The issue
On certain side-by-side UTV’s, the steering shaft may move along the power steering splines, and in some circumstances, the shaft may move far enough to separate from the splines. If the shaft were to separate from the splines during vehicle operation, it would result in a loss of steering control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace and increase the torque of the fastener used to attach the steering shaft to the spline. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their UTV until the recall repair has been performed.
Description (français)
Sur certains VTT de type côte à côte, l'arbre de direction pourrait bouger le long des cannelures de la servodirection et, dans certains cas, se dégager des cannelures. Si cela se produisait alors que le véhicule est en mouvement, cela pourrait causer une perte de contrôle de la direction, ce qui augmenterait les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le dispositif de fixation entre l'arbre et les cannelures et augmenter son couple de serrage.
