The defect
Gillig chassis may have steering draglinks which could separate from the steering gear pitman arm due to an assembly error that installed twp 1/4" spacers, which prevent proper torquing between the draglink and the pitman arm.
The risk
If the draglinks were to separate while the vehicle wasmoving, steering control would be lost and a vehicle crash may result.
The remedy
Remove two 1/4" spacers, replace and retorque the lock nut and cotter key. Also, inspect the draglink socket assembly and pitman arm for wear and replace as needed.
