What the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration knows about this vehicle: every recall, every consumer complaint, every defect investigation, every NCAP crash test. Sourced directly from NHTSA data feeds.
THE RETAINING PIN FOR THE BRAKE CONTROL KNOB HAS BEEN MISALIGNED (OFF THE CENTER LINE OF THE VALVE PLUNGER HOLE). THIS CAUSES THE KNOB TO BE OVERSTRESSED AT THE RETAINING PIN HOLE AREA CAUSING IT TO SEPARATE FROM THE VALVE.
FixTHE HOLES WILL BE RETOOLED TO PROVIDE CORRECT ALIGNMENT AND PLASTIC KNOBS WILL BE REPLACED BY KNOBS OF STRONGER MATERIAL HAVING METAL REINFORCEMENTS.
THE PREFABRICATED PINCH BOLT CLAMP AT THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT LOWER YOKE MAY NOT PERFORM ADEQUATELY WHEN TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS. THE CLAMP MAY THEN DEFORM AND LOSS OF CLAMPING FORCE AND STEERING SHAFT DISENGAGEMENT MAY RESULT.
FixDEALER WILL RETROFIT WITH LOWER STEERING SHAFT LOWER YOKES THAT PROVIDE FOR INTEGRAL PINCH BOLT INSTALLATION IN PLACE OF PREVIOUS SEPARATELY FABRICATED CLAMP FOR THE PINCH BOLT.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE KNOB THAT OPERATES THE TRACTOR PARK VALVE MAY BREAK OFF, RENDERING THE VALVE INOPERABLE.
FixDEFECTIVE KNOBS WILL BE REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED TYPE, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
