Summary of the Safety Concern:
IMPROPER TORQUE OF THE RETAINING BOLTS AND NUTS OF THE STEERING COLUMN SLIP SHAFT, WHICH PROVIDES THE CONNECTING LINK BETWEEN THE UPPER STEERING COLUMN AND THE STEERING GEAR BOX, MAY CAUSE THE STEERING COLUMN SLIP SHAFT TO SEPARATE AT EITHER THE UPPER OR LOWER CONNECTION OF THE SHAFT. |
||
|
Consequence:
SEPARATION OF THE STEERING COLUMN SLIP SHAFT AT EITHER THE UPPER OR LOWER CONNECTION OF THE SHAFT RESULTS IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THIS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH. |
||
|
Remedy:
INSPECT AND RETORQUE THE SLIP SHAFT RETAINING BOLTS AND NUTS. HOWEVER, IF, AFTER THE INSPECTION, THE BOLTS AND NUTS ARE FOUND TO BE LOOSE OR OVERTORQUED, NEW BOLTS AND NUTS WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPERLY TORQUED. |
