NHTSA recall 06E010000
Steering · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Certain fabtech aftermarket replacement pitman arms, p/nos. Fts71000 and fts71001, installed for use on certain 2001-2006 gm c/k 2500 pick up trucks and sport utility vehicles. The pin located inside the pitman arm can shear off due to a reverse bending fatigue condition, resulting in a total loss of steering control.
Why it matters: Loss of steering control could lead to a vehicle crash with potential injury or death.
The fix: Fabtech will notify owners and replace the pitman and idler arms free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during February 2006.
