What can happen

Safety consequence

INADEQUATE LUBRICATION OF THE STEERING SHAFT COULD CAUSE STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLIES TO SEPARATE WITHOUT WARNING.

What fixes it

Official remedy

UPON INSPECTION, THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING GEAR WILL BE LUBRICATED OR REPLACED. IN ADDITION, A CLAMP WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE LOWER SHAFT TO RESTRICT ITS MOVEMENT.
