What NHTSA recorded

The rubber that encases ball stud and socket joint (connects steering drag link and pitman arm) may deteriorate, causing metal to metal contact, and may eventually result in complete separation. Consequence of defect: complete separation of the drag link to pitman arm connection results in loss of steering control which may lead to an accident.

Remedy

Install new drag link assemblies with steel ball and socket joints at the pitman arm connections.
