What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm may have been improperly torqued during assembly. The improper torque may have damaged the castle nut and compromised the integrity of the connection. If the drag link separated from the pitman arm, the driver would loose directional control of the vehicle which could result in a vehicle crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace and properly torque the castle nuts on all suspect vehicles.
