Issue
Issue:
On certain trucks, a nut in the steering system could loosen and cause a loss of steering control. This problem affects trucks equipped with a 4x4 style steering system.
Safety Risk:
A loss of steering control would increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the outboard steering linkage jam nut. If the nut is properly tightened, it will be welded to the adjuster sleeve. If the nut is not properly tightened, the drag link assembly will be replaced.
