The risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because the grease on the steering box’s rack must be applied for vehicles whose chassis were built in the aforesaid interval, in order to guarantee suitable quantity and avoid possible steering stiffening over the time. This operation is needed to avoid that an eventual lack of grease between rack and pinion of the steering cause (due to the supplier’s production process) could cause steering stiffening over the time, thus prejudicing the operation of the vehicle.
Product: Light truck, model Ducato X2/50 (Campaign 5219).
