What can happen

Safety consequence

STEERING COMPONENTS MAY INTERFERE WITH EACH OTHER AND COULD LEAD TO SEPARATION OF STEERING LINKAGE. THE DRAGLINK, A COMPONENT IN THE STEERING LINKAGE THAT TRANSMITS TURNING MOVEMENTS TO THE WHEELS, MAY HAVE A CLAMP ON THE AXLE END WHICH HAS BEEN INCORRECTLY POSITIONED ON THE INBOARD SIDE OF THE DRAGLINK.

What fixes it

Official remedy

DEALER WILL INSPECT THE FRONT STEERING FOR THE MISPLACED CLAMP AND RELOCATE IT CORRECTY. IF DAMAGED, THE DRAGLINK WILL BE REPLACED. DEALER WILL COR RECT THE CLEARANCE OF THE SUSPENSION RADIUS RODS TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE, IF NECESSARY.
