Defect
On vehicles without a cab-tilt mechanism, the steering shaft and steering gear box were improperly assembled at the coupling joint during production, leaving the joint insufficiently secured. Continued use in this condition may cause the joint to separate. In the worst case, the steering coupling detaches completely, resulting in loss of steering control.
Corrective action
Inspect all vehicles. Any vehicle with an improperly assembled steering coupling joint must be disassembled and correctly reassembled.
