The problem
THE PITMAN ARM WHICH MOUNTS TO THE STEERING GEAR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND FREQUENT, HIGH STEERING LOAD APPLICATIONS. (SUCH AS REPEATED CONTACT BETWEEN THE STEERING SYSTEM AND THE AXLE STOPS AT MAXIMUM RIGHT TURNS). THE PITMAN ARM MAY DEVELOP CRACKS AND MOUNTING OF THE ARM TO THE STEERING GEAR COULD EVENTUALLY FAIL.
What owners should do
AN IMPROVED PITMAN ARM WILL BE INSTALLED WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
