## What is wrong

THE SPLINED STEERING SHAFT MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENTLY        ENGAGED AS DESIGNED DUE TO INACCURATE DRILLING OF THE HOLES IN THE FRAME TO      WHICH THE CAB FRONT MOUNT MEMBER IS BOLTED. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE         STEERING SHAFT MAY DISENGAGE.                                                                                                                                     CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: A JARRING IMPACT MIGHT CAUSE DISENGAMENT OF THE SPLINED   SHAFT RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND POSSIBLY AN ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

REPLACE SHAFTS WHICH MEASURE UNDER THE MINIMUM ENGAGEMENT     DIMENSIONS WITH LONGER SHAFT.


## Notes

SYSTEM: STEERING SHAFT. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FIRE TRUCKS.
