The problem
The internal tie rods used for the front axle steering may not have been intended for the type of vehicle, and thus, could be too short.In such a case, the rods could be bent or pulled out in the event of an additional, sudden force. This would impair the steerability of the vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident.
