Notes

POSSIBILITY THAT THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT FLEXIBLE COUPLING MAY HAVE REDUCED FLEXIBILITY DUE TO INSUFFI- CIENT TOLERANCE IN ASSEMBLY.NORMAL DIFFERENCES IN MOVEMENT BETWEEN VEHICLE CAB AND CHASSIS COMPONENTS COULD FORCE THE COUPLING UPWARD AND CAUSE THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT SPLINES TO BECOME DISENGAGED FROM MATCHING SPLINES ON THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT FLANGE, WITH RESULTANT LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.(INSPECT AND REPLACE COUPLING WITH ADJUSTABLE SPLINE TYPE AS REQUIRED.)

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.
