- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2015081
- Manufacturer's number: 15S08
- Reported: 2015\-02\-24
- Component: Steering
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 21

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with diesel engines, service replacement steering gears, installed after June 30, 2014, may not properly mount to the frame rail due to insufficient clearance.  This could result in insufficient clamp load on the joints, which over time may cause fatigue of one or more of the steering gear retention bolts.  If the steering gear bolts were to fatigue, one or more of the bolts could fracture, which could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.  Correction:  Dealers will install spacers between the gear and the frame rail to add clearance and ensure adequate clamp load to the joints.
