What NHTSA recorded

These vehicles may be equipped with steering linkages on which cotter pins may not have been installed on castellated nuts to secure the steering drag link and tie-rod connections. Also, these attaching nuts may not have been tightened to specifications. This could allow linkage separation.

The dealer will perform necessary corrections to the steering linkage attachments.
