Reported risk: ON MODELS EQUIPPED WITH FA(W)617 FRONT AXLE AND 20,000 POUND TAPERLEAF SPRINGS IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE DRAG LINK TO PITMAN ARM TOGGLE ANGLE COULD BE GREATER THAN THE ORIGINAL DESIGN CRITERIA. IF, WHEN NEGOTIATING AN EXTREME RIGHT HAND TURN,THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WERE TO DROP INTO A DEEP HOLE, THE STEERING RETURN WOULD BE SLOW WITHOUT WARNING TO THE DRIVER, AND PRESENT GREAT POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH. (VEHICLE LOCATED IN SURREY, B.C.) CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND IF NECESSARY THE LEFT HAND STEERING LEVER WILL BE REPLACED.
