| Production period | May 22, 1990 — June 28, 2000 |
| Vehicles affected | 6,402 units |
Defect
The idler arm in the steering linkage has insufficient strength. Frequent steering inputs at the full-lock position over many years of use may cause the idler arm to crack. Continued operation in this condition may cause the idler arm to fracture, resulting in loss of steering control.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected idler arm with the corrected part.
