What can happen

Safety consequence

THE NUTS THAT MOUNT THE TIE ROD ENDS TO THE STEERING ARMS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SECURELY FASTENED; THE NUTS COULD LOOSEN AND EVENTUALLY FALL OFF. ALSO, TIE ROD TUBES ON SOME AXLE ASSEMBLIES MAY BE TOO SHORT. EITHER CONDITION COULD LEAD TO A SEPARATION OF THE TIE ROD FROM THE STEERING ARM.

What fixes it

Official remedy

UPON INSPECTION, NUTS WILL BE TIGHTENED TO MEET SPECIFICATIONS AND ANY UNDERSIZED TIE ROD TUBES WILL BE REPLACED.
