## What is wrong

STEERING LINKAGE COUPLERS REMAINED IN ACID ETCHING BATH   TOO LONG.                                                                                                                                                         CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: COUPLERS COULD BE OUT OF TOLERANCE RESULTING IN STEERING  WHEEL MISALIGNMENT WITH EVENTUAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.


## The remedy

REPLACE OUT OF TOLERANCE STEERING LINKAGE COUPLERS.
