Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 79V170000 by Minibus, Inc.. Includes 34 affected units, STEERING:COLUMN COUPLING, component: STEERING, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

Due to the wearing down of the serrations of the shell assembly, loss or reduction of steering control may be experienced by driver. This can occur when strain is put upon the steering mechanism, such as when turning while stopping or moving very slowly. Wearing out of serrations may be caused by an improper fit between the neck of the shell assembly and the serrations, or improper height of the steering column causing a "bottoming out" within the shell assembly.

Corrective Action

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace shell assembly with a type having an adequately sized neck. In addition, proper height adjustment of the steering column will be assured through maintenance procedures to help prevent a "bottoming out" within the shell assembly.
