DEFECT #1 - STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
Posted on: 1993-03-25
Description
The high strength -- low alloy material which was used in the turnbuckle style cross-tube axle assemblies has low impact resistance properties. The turnbuckle style cross-tube assemblies are therefore susceptible to fracture under impact loads due to the component's design geometry and the low impact resistance of the material.
Consequence
Impact fractures of the cross-tube assemblies of thesteerable drive axle can result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Corrective Action
Replace the turnbuckle style cross-tube assemblies with cross-tube assemblies of a different configuration.
Notes
