Defect
Due to inadequate control of the manufacturing process for the steering gear assembly, the nut securing the gear that transmits steering force may be insufficiently torqued. Continued use in this condition allows the nut to loosen, which may result in loss of steering control.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the torque condition of the nut. If loosening is found, replace the bevel gear assembly with a conforming part.
