What NHTSA recorded

Sutphen is recalling 56 my 2006 fire truck chassis equipped with trw steering gears, models tas85. These steering gears contain potentially defective sector shafts with an incorrect gear tooth which may interfere with the rack-piston teeth, resulting in a sticking or binding condition.

Possible consequence

This condition has the potential to cause the steering gear to stall and restrict the steering turning angle of the vehicle which could result in a vehicle crash.
