Details
What's wrong: The frame can crack at the steering gear attachment and/or the steering gear mounting bolts can fracture.
Why it matters: The steering gear can separate from the vehicle frame resulting in a loss of vehicle control increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
The fix: Dealers will add reinforcements to the frame and replace the steering gear mounting bolts. If the frame is already cracked, the steering gear weld nuts will also be replaced.
