On certain trucks, some of the steering column support bracket fasteners may not be secured to the proper tightness.
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, the bolt on the steering shaft may not be tightened to the correct specification and the possibility exists that due to the loose nut, the yoke bolt could slide out partially and limit the rotation on the steering shaft.
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with arvinmeritor urresko tie rod clamps, heat treatment of clamps created a surface hardness that could lead to a fracture of the clamps.
