The problem: The flange head pinch bolts used in the yokes of the steering shaft assemblies may have been overstressed due to the bolts not being tightened to specifications. As a result, the pinch bolts could break while in service.
The fix: Flange head pinch bolts will be replaced with standard grade 8 fasteners without charge to owner.
