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.
