What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS, A STEERING COUPLER SHAFT IS UTILIZED BETWEEN THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY AND THE STEERING GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY. THIS COUPLER SHAFT HAS A FLEXIBLE YOKE WITH A PINCH BOLT CLAMP AT EACH END TO SECURE THE SHAFT TO EACH ASSEMBLY. THE FLEXIBLE YOKE ON THE END THAT ATTACHES TO THE GEARBOX COULD DEVELOP A CRACK NEAR THE PINCH BOLT CLAMP.
What can happen
A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL COULD OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
ALL VEHICLES WERE STILL IN DEALER INVENTORY AND HAVE BEEN REPAIRED.

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.
