96V081000Received . 604 units.
Steering / Linkages / Drag / Link / Connection
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The draglinks have been equipped with an anti-tilt seal on the pitman end that can affect the taper fit of the ball stud taper into the pitman arm. The recommended torque on the stud nut does not overcome the compression of the anti-tilt seal.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This condition can cause a loosening of the joint and ultimate separation resulting in loss of steering.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace washers with 90 degree flanges with washers having a 45 degree flange and sandwich the rubber bushing in the anti-tilt seal. The flanges allow the bushing to properly expand. If a body has been completed on the chassis, the pitman arm will also be replaced.

Steering / Steering Wheel/Handle Bar
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Intermittent disruption of the functions controlled by the steering wheel center touch pad can occur caused by electrical shortage inside the steering wheel assembly. This does not conform to the requirements of FMVSS no. 104, "windhsield wiping and washing systems;" and no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment."
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Consequence of non-compliance: this condition can cause improper operation of the functions controlled by the touch pad. The function (1) fails to operate; (2) operates intermittently; or (3) operates unexpectedly, i.e. A function comes on without being switched on. Any of these could distract a driver increasing the potential for an accident.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will repair the steering wheel center control assemblies to eliminate the electrical shorting.
