Steering #94V019000 · 1994 · 102 units
Problem: Improper torque of the retaining bolts and nuts of the steering column slip shaft, which provides the connecting link between the upper steering column and the steering gear box, may cause the steering column slip shaft to separate at either the upper or lower connection of the shaft.

Fix: Inspect and retorque the slip shaft retaining bolts and nuts. however, if, after the inspection, the bolts and nuts are found to be loose or overtorqued, new bolts and nuts will be installed and properly torqued.
