Service bulletin PIT5312

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

Technician will inspect for the lower column bearing to be out of position and the upper intermediate steering shaft to lower column shaft bolt and nut may be contacting the inhibitor/shiftier cable bracket. Technician will replace the steering column for this concern.
