- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)

- Manufacturer's number: SC189
- Reported: 1987\-12\-29
- Component: Steering
- Notification type: Safety Mfr

## What is wrong

VEHICLES WITH SHEPPARD STEERING GEAR WERE MANUFACTURED WITH AN INCORRECT PITMAN ARM TO DRAG LINK ANGLE DUE TO A MISPLACED PITMAN ARM TIMING MARK. IN A FULL RIGHT HAND TURN WITH THE LEFT HAND WHEEL UNSUPPORTED, THE STEERING LINKAGE COULD GO INTO A TOGGLE CONDITION RESULTING IN A SLOW WHEEL RETURN. THIS COULD IMPAIR STEERING CONTROL AND POSSIBLY LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

MISMARKED PITMAN ARMS WILL BE REPLACED.

NOTE: NO VEHICLES LOCATED IN CANADA. 24\-06\-88.
