Defect

In the steering linkage mechanism, the fastening bolts connecting the center arm and rack ends were not tightened to the specified torque on some vehicles. Continued use in this condition allows the bolts to loosen, generating abnormal noise. In the worst case, the bolts may fall out and compromise vehicle controllability.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the affected bolts with friction-stabilizer-coated bolts, add washers, and tighten to the specified torque.
