The defect

The nuts that mount the tie rod ends to the steering arms may not have been securely fastened; the nuts could loosen and eventually fall off. Also, tie rod tubes on some axle assemblies may be too short. Either condition could lead to a separation of the tie rod from the steering arm.

The remedy

Upon inspection, nuts will be tightened to meet specifications and any undersized tie rod tubes will be replaced.
