What NHTSA recorded

Bolts that attach the front axle track bar bracket to the front crossmember may loosen, allowing the front wheels to oscillate with front end shimmy.

Possible consequence

Severe shimmy could damage steering linkage or steeringgear, which could result in loss of steering control and an accident.

Remedy

Install redesigned front axle track bar to crossmember bracket and if necessary, replace certain steering components.
