What can happen

Safety consequence

ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE INCORRECT STEERING LINKAGE ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. AS A RESULT, THE RIGHT-HAND STEERING TIE ROD MIGHT INTERFERE WITH THE INTERMEDIATE ROD. THIS COULD CAUSE THE CONNECTION TO FAIL DUE TO EXCESSIVE STRESS AT THAT POINT.

What fixes it

Official remedy

DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE STEERING LINKAGE ASSEMBLY WITHOUT CHARGE.
