{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2003135","date":"2003-05-22","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Steering","summary":"On certain vehicles, the tapered hole in the steering arm was machined oversized.  The clearance between a correctly sized drag link ball stud and the oversized tapered bore is sufficiently great enough to allow the ball stud to fatigue and potentially break.  Also, the castle nut could completely back off, causing the drag link to disconnect from the steering arm.  If the ball stud breaks or the drag link becomes disconnected, all steering control of the vehicle would be lost.  Correction:  Dealer will replace the steering knuckle and drag link.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"03509","part_number":null,"units":115,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Direction","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, suite à une erreur d'usinage, il se peut que l'orifice conique du bras de direction soit trop grand. Le dégagement entre la rotule de la barre d'accouplement et l'orifice conique surdimensionné est suffisamment grand pour que la rotule se fatigue et, éventuellement, se brise. De plus, l'écrou crénelé peut se desserrer complètement, permettant à la barre d'accouplement de se détacher du bras de direction. Si la rotule se brise ou si la barre d'accouplement se détache, le conducteur perdra la maîtrise de la direction.
