The problem
STEERING CONTROL ARM CAN BE OVERSTRESSED WITH HEAVY STEERING INPUT CAUSING IT TO CRACK AND IT COULD EVENTUALLY BREAK COMPLETELY. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IF THE STEERING CONTROL ARM BREAKS, COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY AND TRUCK CONTROL WOULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
What owners should do
INSTALL NEW STEERING ARM AND OTHER STEERING SYSTEM HARDWARE WHICH WILL PREVENT OVERSTRESSING INPUT CONDITIONS FROM OCCURRING.
