Reported risk: THE STEERING MITRE BOXES ON THESE VEHICLES HAVE NO PROTECTIVE BOOTS ON THE SHAFTS AND WERE NOT TOTALLY PACKED WITH GREASE WHEN ASSEMBLED. AS A RESULT, DIRT CAN BE INGESTED INTO THE SYSTEM, CAUSING THE GEAR SHAFT BEARINGS TO DETERIORATE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A HARD STEERING CONDITION OR STEERING LOCK UP.
CORRECTION: MITRE BOXES WILL BE REPLACED WITH VERSIONS WHICH HAVE PROTECTIVE BOOTS INSTALLED AS WELL AS GREASE FITTINGS.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
