What is wrong
THE STEERING MITRE BOXES ON THESE VEHICLES HAVE NO PROTECTIVE BOOTS ON THE SHAFTS AND WERE NOT TOTALLY PACKED WITH GREASE WHEN ASSEMBLED. AS A RESULT, DIRT CAN BE INGESTED INTO THE SYSTEM, CAUSING THE GEAR SHAFT BEARINGS TO DETERIORATE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A HARD STEERING CONDITION OR STEERING LOCK UP.
CORRECTION: MITRE BOXES WILL BE REPLACED WITH VERSIONS WHICH HAVE PROTECTIVE BOOTS INSTALLED AS WELL AS GREASE FITTINGS.
