Details

What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles were built with missing or under-torqued steering gear attachment bolts. If a bolt is missing, the driver may notice uneven steering response or unusual noises during turns.

Why it matters: If the left bolt is missing and the right mounting strap fails, steering control is lost and a vehicle crash could result.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles for presence and proper torque of both steering gear bolts. Owner notification began April 5, 2002.
