Pierce Manufacturing castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.
The short version
Pierce Manufacturing reported a problem with the linkages tie rod assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.
If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, tightening it as necessary, free of charge.
