HENDRICKSON MFG. CO.
The problem
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED USING A STANDARD TYPE NUT TO FASTEN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS NUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS AND MAY BACK OFF THE STEERING COLUMN AS A RESULT. THIS WILL ALLOW THE STEERING WHEEL TO DISENGAGE FROM THE COLUMN.
What owners should do
DEALER WILL REPLACE THE STANDARD NUT WITH A SELF-LOCKING NUT THAT WILL BE TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
