What NHTSA recorded

On certain medium duty trucks, a steering coupler shaft is utilized between the steering column assembly and the steering gear box assembly. This coupler shaft has a flexible yoke with a pinch bolt clamp at each end to secure the shaft to each assembly. The flexible yoke on the end that attaches to the gearbox could develop a crack near the pinch bolt clamp.

Possible consequence

A loss of steering control could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

All vehicles were still in dealer inventory and have been repaired.
