Reported risk: On certain vehicles, if the steering is turned to the full-lock position, the shock of striking an object with one of the front wheels can fracture the front steering knuckle even if the vehicle speed is not excessive. The fracture occurs between the junction with the steering tie rod and the wheel and will result in loss of steering control to one front wheel of the vehicle. Correction: The upper steering stop bolts will be replaced with rubber dampers and will receive a modification to the lower steering stop mounting bracket and frame boss. Owner's manuals will be updated with information regarding the new steering stop dampers.
