MY RACK AND PINION IS ALSO CAUSING ME PROBLEMS. IT HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER- MORE SO TO ONE SIDE THAN THE OTHER. A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY ALSO OWNS A VIGOR NEAR TO THE SAME YEAR AS MINE AND THEIR RACK IS BAD AS WELL AND CAUSES SOME BAD VIBRATIONS.

They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
