What NHTSA recorded

The slip joint between the cab mounted steering column shaft and the frame mounted steering gear may not have sufficient clearance. Excessive load on the slip joint may cause failure of the steering column shaft.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect vehicle for correct clearance at the slip joint. If necessary, a spacer and, in some cases, a new steering column will be installed.
