Defect
The weld on the bracket that secures the steering gearbox to the cross member (right side of two mounting points) is improperly formed on some vehicles. Repeated full-lock steering maneuvers may damage the weld, producing abnormal noise and excessive steering play. In the worst case, reliable steering control is lost.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the weld on the bracket. Replace the cross member with a conforming unit on any vehicle where the weld is found to be defective.
