The defect
These trucks do not have the proper cutout in the front drop rail section of the frame rail. Without the proper cutout, the steering driveline grease fitting will interfere with the flange of the chassis rail.
The risk
Steering driveline interference would prevent propersteering control. The condition can result in loss of steering capability.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect for proper cutout and adequate clearance with the grease fitting. If adequate clearance does not exist, a cutout will be added to the drop rail.
