Notes

POSSIBLE INSTALLATION OF INCORRECT STEERING PITMAN ARM AND DRAG LINK ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD CAUSE A LOOSE- NESS IN THE DRAG LINK TO STEERING ARM CONNECTION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE DRAG LINK BECOMING DISCONNECTED FROM THE STEERING ARM, CAUSING A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.(INSPECT AND INSTALL CORRECT PITMAN ARM AND DRAG LINK ASSEMBLY AS NECESSARY.)

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
