Details

What's wrong: On certain trucks, the bolt that attaches the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear may not meet specification. The bolt may fracture resulting in the loss of steering.

Why it matters: If this happens while the vehicle is moving, a crash could occur without prior warning.

The fix: Dealers will replace the intermediate steering shaft bolt free of charge. The recall began on January 24, 2005.
