- The problem
- The jam-nuts for the right and left hand tie rods in the drag link were not properly torqued after installation.
- The risk
- This could allow the tie rod ends to back off duringvehicle operation and continued use could cause the tie rod ends to becomedisengaged and the vehicle steering would become inoperable. Loss of operatorcontrol of the bus would occur.
- The fix
- Tighten the jam-nuts to the proper torque, and install a new instruction decal on the chassis frame next to the drag link with the correct torque values for the jam nuts.
