What NHTSA recorded

Under certain circumstances, the output shaft of the steering gear may develop cracks at a location between the gear and the pitman arm mounting. The suspect component is found on steering gears with the code 05057. Continued operation may result in fracture and disconnection of the steering linkage.

Remedy

The dealer will remove original output shaft from steering gear and replace it with a new case-hardened shaft free of charge.
