| Defect Summary | On certain chassis cab trucks, the steering gear may have some gears with a gear piston that was assembled with an incorrect re-circulating ball tube retainer. an incorrect retainer may result in an improperly retained re-circulating ball tube, which may not keep the re-circulating balls in place during steering gear actuation. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If the re-circulating balls become dislodged a vehicle operator may notice noise and increased steering efforts that may eventually progress to impaired steering or potential loss of steering which could result in a crash. | |||||||||||||||
