International fastener that clamps the pitman arm to the steering gear shaft may have been undertorqued upon assembly.
The short version
NAVISTAR, INC reported a problem with the gear box shaft pitman. Here is what owners need to know.
THE FASTENER THAT CLAMPS THE PITMAN ARM TO THE STEERING GEAR SHAFT MAY HAVE BEEN UNDERTORQUED UPON ASSEMBLY. AN UNDER TORQUE CONDITION MAY CAUSE WEAR OF THE INTERCONNECTING SPLINES OF THE ARM AND THE SHAFT POSSIBLY ALLOWING THE PITMAN ARM TO SLIP OVER THE SHAFT RESULTING IN A REDUCTION OF STEERING CONTROL.
A REDUCTION OF STEERING CONTROL INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.
NAVISTAR WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE.
