## What is wrong

On certain trucks, the steering wheel may not have been installed correctly and could possibly detach from the steering column. This could cause a loss of connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels, resulting in a loss of steering control and creating the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Daimler Trucks North America Authorized Service Facilities will inspect the installation of the steering wheel and repair as necessary.
