| Defect Summary | Incorrect steering linkage components may have been installed on the involved vehicles. these vehicles were assembled with light duty steering linkage tie rod and center link assemblies in place of the specified heavy duty components. these light duty components are not compatible for attachment to the heavy duty knuckle arms, resulting in an inflexible (no ball joint movement) attachment of the tie rod to knuckle arm. this could, eventually, result in fatigue failure of that attachment on one of the components. | |||||||||||||||

| Corrective Summary | The steering linkage system tie rods and center link will be inspected and, if necessary, light duty components will be replaced with heavy duty components at no cost to owner. | |||||||||||||||
