Defect

On vehicles converted from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive, the rivets securing the steering gear bracket to the body have insufficient strength. Repeated full-lock steering inputs may cause the rivets to fracture. Continued use will increase steering play, and the driver may lose the ability to steer reliably.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the bracket with a new part, change the fastening method from rivets to bolts, and add supplemental bolts.
