- Notification type: Safety Mfr

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the steering gear may contain a gear piston that was assembled with an incorrect re\-circulating ball tube retainer.  An incorrect retainer may result in an improperly retained re\-circulating ball tube, which may not keep the re\-circulating balls in place during steering gear actuation.  If the re\-circulating balls become dislodged, a vehicle operator may notice noise and increased steering efforts that may eventually progress to impaired steering or potential loss of steering control.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering gear.
