What is wrong
THE SAGINAW GEAR DOES NOT RELIEVE PRESSURE WHEN THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN TURNED FULLY AGAINST THE AXLE STOPS. THE RESULTING CONTINUED PRESSURE ON THE STEERING SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRACKS IN THE SPLINES OF THE PITMAN SHAFT, WHICH CAN DEVELOP INTO A COMPLETE FRACTURE OF THE PITMAN SHAFT.
What can happen
FRACTURE OF THE PITMAN SHAFT CAUSES COMPLETE LOSS OFSTEERING CONTROL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT IF FRACTURE OCCURSWHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
REPLACE THE EXISTING PITMAN SHAFT IN THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW, STRENGTHENED PITMAN SHAFT.

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.
