The problem
STEERING ARM MAY CRACK AFTER REPEATED FULL LOCK TURNS DUE TO THE LACK OF END-OF-TRAVEL RELIEF FEATURES. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WOULD BE EXPERIENCED IF CRACKS EXPAND TO COMPLETE FRACTURE OF THE ARM, AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
What owners should do
REPLACE STEERING ARM WITH A REDESIGNED STRENGTHENED ARM.
