What was wrong

Defect

R.H. Sheppard Co., Inc. (R.H. Sheppard) is recalling certain steering gears. Please see the recall report for a complete list of all affected models and part numbers. The steering gear sector shaft may have been improperly heat-treated, which can cause the gear teeth to crack or fracture.

Risk

A fractured steering gear shaft can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

R.H. Sheppard will work with the vehicle manufacturers to replace the steering gears, free of charge. Affected vehicle manufacturers are expected to be notified in February 2024. Owners may contact R.H. Sheppard customer service at 1-717-637-3751.
