- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 86V106000
- Manufacturer: FREIGHTLINER CORP.
- Reported: 1986\-08\-05
- Owners notified: 1986\-09\-11
- Component: STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
- Units potentially affected: 78

## What is wrong

STEERING COLUMN MOUNTING BOLTS MAY BE ABSENT, LEAVING     ONLY THE KNEE PAD TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN IN PLACE.                                                                                                 CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, KNEE PAD ATTACHING      BOLTS MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT, ALLOWING THE STEERING COLUMN AND WHEEL TO COME      LOOSE WHILE THE TRUCK IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND  AN ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

INSTALL CLAMPS AND BOLTS, IF MISSING, OR CHECK EXISTING       BOLTS FOR TIGHTNESS.


## Notes

SYSTEM: STEERING COLUMN MOUNTING. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MEDIUM DUTY CONVENTIONAL TRUCKS.
