ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE SELF LOCKING NUTS THAT CONNECT THE LOWER STEERING COLUMN SHAFT TO THE FLEXIBLE COUPLING MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED. THESE NUTS CAN COME LOOSE.
Manufacturer remedy
THE DEALER WILL DO A TORQUE CHECK OF THE SELF-LOCKING NUTS AND, IF THE NUTS ARE FOUND TO BE LOOSE, THEY WILL BE TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS, FREE OF CHARGE.
ON SOME OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE KNURLED NUT, PART OF THE RUBBER MOUNT ASSEMBLY WHICH SUPPORTS THE DIFFERENTIAL, MAY HAVE BEEN CRACKED DUE TO OVER-TORQUING OF THE FINAL DRIVE ATTACHING BOLT. THIS BOLT MAY BECOME LOOSE, AND CONTINUED OPERATION MAY CAUSE IT TO FALL OUT.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND REPAIR OR REPLACE ATTACHING ASSEMBLY, AS NECESSARY, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
