Reported risk: Certain heavy duty class 8 trucks. The lower steering shaft may side-load the steering gear input shaft. This condition could result in non-uniform steering wheel efforts when turning the steering wheel. In addition, once the steering wheel turn is initiated, the vehicle may continue turning without returning to the straight ahead position with driver effort. This condition can result in a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the lower steering shaft.
