What NHTSA recorded

On certain trucks, the cotter pin that goes through the drag link ball stud at the connection to the pitman arm is missing. This pin prevents the castle nut from loosening.

Possible consequence

If the nut loosens and comes completely off the drag link ball stud, the drag link could detach resulting in a loss of steering control.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the vehicle and install a cotter pin if it is missing. Owner notification began april 15, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
