What is wrong
THE CAB FRONT MOUNTS MAY CRACK AND LOSE THEIR ABILITY TO HOLD THE CAB FIRMLY TO ITS FRAME MOUNTS. SUCH A FAILURE COULD ALLOW THE FRONT OF THE CAB TO MOVE VERTICALLY WHEN ENCOUNTERING ROUGH ROAD SURFACES. IN EXTREME SITUATIONS, THE CAB COULD RISE TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT COULD BECOME DISENGAGED.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSTALL REDESIGNED LEFT AND RIGHT HAND CAB SUPPORT ASSEMBLIES AND LONGER, LOWER STEERING SHAFTS, AT NO COST TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
