What can happen

Safety consequence

THE DRAG LINK TO PITMAN ARM TOGGLE ANGLE MAY BE GREATER THAN DESIGN CRITERIA, AND MAY CAUSE THE STEERING TO BIND. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IF TRUCK NEGOTIATES EXTREME RIGHT HAND TURN THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL DROPS INTO A DEEP HOLE, STEERING RETURN WOULD BE SLOW, WITHOUT WARNING TO OPERATOR, CREATING POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH.

What fixes it

Official remedy

REPLACE LEFT HAND STEERING LEVER.
