94V083000 · Steering:gear Box (other Than Rack And Pinion)

May 9, 1994

THE STEERING GEAR BRACKET USED TO MOUNT THE POWER STEERING GEAR TO THE CHASSIS FRAME CAN CRACK AND FAIL.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: THIS CAN CAUSE THE STEERING GEAR TO BIND, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE BRACKETS WITH NEWLY DESIGNED BRACKETS. UNTIL REPLACEMENT BRACKETS ARE AVAILABLE, OWNERS ARE ADVISED TO INSPECT THE BRACKETS FOR CRACKS, AND CONTACT PIERCE MANUFACTURING FOR REPAIR INFORMATION.

90V063000 · Steering:gear Box:shaft Sector

Apr 2, 1990

THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS AT EACH END OF THE STEERING SHAFT ARE ATTACHED TO THE SHAFT WITH A KEY AND SET SCREW. THE SET SCREWS MAY LOOSEN AND ALLOW THE KEY TO FALL OUT OF PLACE.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: IF THE KEY FALLS OUT, THE UNIVERSAL JOINT WOULD SPIN ON THE SHAFT, RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING AND A POSSIBLE CRASH.

Remedy: MODIFY STEERING LINKAGE TO PREVENT SET SCREW FROM LOOSENING AND KEY FROM COMING OUT OF KEY WAY.
