The defect

If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Autocar Industries will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, tightening it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 20, 2017. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-877-777-5360. Autocar's number for this recall is MDTT-1701.
