Notes

FWD campaign no n/a.possibility that the lever shaft stud bearing assembly ofsteering gear was assembled with a soft bearing retainer washer rather than ahardened washer.this condition could allow bearing movement and cause levershaft stud to fall out completely or move and jam the cam shaft resulting inloss of control or loss of steering in one direction.(correct by inspectingand installing improved washers where necessary).
