Defect
The intermediate arm bracket in the steering linkage has insufficient strength on some vehicles. Continued use may cause the bracket to crack and, in the worst case, the bracket fractures and loss of steering control results.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the intermediate arm bracket with the corrected part and add a spacer to the mounting surface. Additionally, on low-floor single-step vehicles, replace the complete drag link assembly—including the pitman arm and pitman link—with corrected parts.
