NHTSA recall 02V330000
Steering · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain vans with an 8,500 lb. Or 8,600 lb. Gross vehicle weight rating, the nut attaching the pitman arm to the steering linkage may not be tightened adequately resulting in a possible separation.
Why it matters: A separation could result in loss of vehicle control, and a crash could occur with prior warning.
The fix: Dealers will tighten the pitman arm nut to the proper specification. If the nut is missing, the dealer will install a new nut and tighten it correctly. Owner notification began December 10, 2002.
