Notes

POSSIBILITY THAT TWO SCREWS USED TO SECURE STEERING SHAFT TO STEERING GEAR MAYBE LOOSE.(CORRECTION MADE ON ALL VEHICLES PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO DEALER DEPOTS.)

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.
