- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 1998200
- Manufacturer's number: 98062
- Reported: 1998\-10\-20
- Component: Steering
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 890

## What is wrong

Certain vehicles have lower than specified torque on all three of the steering gear to frame attachment bolts. In this condition, the bolts may loosen during the life of the vehicle. Relative movement of the steering gear to frame may wear and/or fatigue the attaching bolts to the point of breakage or the bolts backing out. This would result in steering gear separation and loss of steering control.  Correction: Steering gear to frame bolts will be torqued to the proper specification.
