What NHTSA recorded

On certain vehicles, some cotter pins may be missing at the ball joint connections of the drag link ends and tie rod ends in the lower front axle steering system. Steering joint could separate if the ball stud retaining nut loosens and falls off due to absence of cotter pin.

Remedy

Steering linkage from the frame down to and including the front axle will be inspected. Cotter pins will be installed, if necessary.
