Reported risk: Issue:
On one vehicle, the bolts that join the steering and tie rod arm to the steering knuckle may not have been properly tightened. This could lead to a separation of the tie rod arm and cause a loss of steering control.
Safety Risk:
A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify the owner by mail. The owner will be instructed to take the vehicle to a Daimler Trucks North America Authorized Service Facility to have the steering and tie rod arm bolts inspected to ensure they are torqued correctly. New fasteners will be installed as necessary.
