What NHTSA recorded

On certain dual steer trucks, the right hand steering wheel may not be seated properly on the column shaft.

Possible consequence

This could allow the steering wheel to slip on the steering column shaft resulting in loss of vehicle steering without warning, which could cause a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will re-install steering wheels not meeting the specified dimension. Owner notification is expected to begin during december 2003. Customers 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 autocar at 1-765-489-5499.
