What was wrong
Defect
THE FRONT AXLE STEERING ARMS INSTALLED ON THE SUSPECT VEHICLES ARE OF A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION THAN THOSE DESIGNED FOR THE APPLICATION. USE OF THE WRONG STEERING ARM PRESENTS THE POTENTIAL FOR IMPROPER STEERING ARM TO DRAG LINK ADJUSTMENT, WHICH MAY RESULT IN STEERING LOCK-UP DURING A FULL RIGHT TURN.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALER WILL INSPECT THE SUSPECT VEHICLES AND REPLACE DEFECTIVE STEERING ARMS AT NO COST TO OWNER.
