NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
METRIC GRADE 8.8 BOLTS WERE MIXED IN INVENTORY WITH METRIC GRADE 10.9 BOLTS. INCORRECT GRADE BOLTS (8.8) WERE USED IN ATTACHING THE 710 SAGINAW STEERING GEAR TO THE FRAME.
The risk
THE USE OF INCORRECT BOLTS CAN CAUSE THE STEERING GEAR TO SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME CAUSING A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL METRIC GRADE 8.8 BOLTS WITH THE CORRECT METRIC GRADE 10.9 BOLTS, LOCTITE WILL BE INSTALLED INTO THE BOLT HOLE, AND THE BOLTS WILL BE TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION.

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.
