NHTSA Campaign 82V117000

STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)

Issued by PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED · Reported Dec 3, 1982 · 454 vehicles affected

What's wrong

THE ELASTIC PORTION OF THE RETAINING BOLTS USED TO SUPPORT THE STEERING GEAR BOX MAY BE TOO SHORT. AS A RESULT, THESE BOLTS WILL NOT LOCK SUFFICIENTLY, CAUSING THE NUTS TO LOOSEN AND ALLOWING THE STEERING GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY TO BECOME INOPERATIVE.

Remedy

THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE STEERING GEAR BOX AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE SHORT BOLTS WITH LONGER BOLTS AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
