The defect
Variances in the location of the tie rod arm bolt holes and steer axle spindle mounting holes result in the attaching bolts being incorrectly torqued. This causes the tie rod attaching bolts to fail resulting in separation of the tie rod from the steering axle spindle.
The risk
The tie rod separation results in a loss of steeringcontrol and possible vehicle accident.
The remedy
Replace the attaching bolts, tie rod arms and spindles as deemed appropriate after vehicle inspection.
