THE STEERING BALL STUDS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY BREAK, ALLOWING THE AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC CYLINDER TO FALL TO THE GROUND. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A PARTIAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING CONTROL.

The remedy

THE BALL STUD ANCHOR, AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC CYLINDER AND BALL STUD SLEEVE WILL BE REPLACED, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

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.
