Structure / Body / Door
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
If a passenger tries to exit the lavatory compartment by pushing with his back against the lavatory window and his legs against the lavatory door, the window can separate.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the window separates, the occupant can fall through the window and suffer severe and/or extreme injuries.

Steering / Gear Box (Other Than Rack and Pinion)
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The elastic portion of the retaining bolts used to support the steering gear box may be too short. As a result, these bolts will not lock sufficiently, causing the nuts to loosen and allowing the steering gear box assembly to become inoperative.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
The dealer will inspect the steering gear box and, if necessary, replace the short bolts with longer bolts at no charge to owner.

Steering / Steering Wheel/Handle Bar
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain vehicles the steering wheel retaining nut may not have been adequately tightened during assembly. The nut may continue to loosen and could eventually come out, allowing the steering wheel to separate from the steering column.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
The steering wheel retaining nut will be tightened according to specifications and labor costs will be reimbursed by the manufacturer.

82V058000Received . 306 units.
Electrical System / Alternator/Generator/Regulator
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Insulation of the alternator and post wires on the involved vehicles is insufficient; corrosion may develop due to contact with salt and sand used in snow and ice removal. Corrosion could lead to an electrical short between the alternator body and post.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Corrosion will be removed from wires and posts, a bracket will be installed, and a protective coating of silicon grease and unitrol will be applied.
