THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE FITTED WITH TILT STEERING COLUMNS CONTAINING TRANSMISSION CONTROL INSERTS INTENDED FOR TRUCKS RATHER THAN PASSENGER VEHICLES. THIS MAY CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR POINTER TO BE MISALIGNED AND THE POSSIBILITY OF STARTING THE ENGINE WHEN THE SELECTOR IS BETWEEN THE NEUTRAL (N) AND DRIVE (D) DETENTS AND THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE. Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CONTROL INSERT, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
THE ENGINE COOLING FAN BLADES MAY CRACK UNDER HIGH SPEED OPERATING CONDITIONS. FRAGMENTS MAY SEPARATE AND DAMAGE THE ENGINE COMPONENTS, AND IF THE HOOD IS OPEN AND THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, BLADE FRAGMENTS COULD FLY OUT FROM THE VEHICLE AND INJURE NEARBY PERSONS. Remedy: THE DEALER WILL, WHERE NECESSARY, INSTALL A NEW FAN FREE OF CHARGE.
null Remedy: null
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE MANUAL STEERING GEARS MAY CONTAIN STEERING GEAR RECIRCULATORY BALLS THAT COULD FRACTURE. THIS FRACTURING IS A RESULT OF IMPROPER HEAT-TREATMENT DURING MANUFACTURE AND CAN EVENTUALLY CAUSE INCREASED STEERING EFFORT. Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE BALL BEARINGS OF THE STEERING GEAR, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL STEERING. THE MANUAL STEERING GEAR RECIRCULATING BALLS MAY FRACTURE DUE TO IMPROPER HEAT TREATMENT. FRACTURED RECIRCULATING BALLS WILL INCREASE STEERING EFFORT AND CAUSE MOMENTARY STEERING HANG-UP. CONTINUED USE OF THE VEHICLE WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TILT STEERING COLUMNS. SOME TILT STEERING COLUMNS CONTAIN TRANSMISSION CONTROL INSERTS (GEAR SELECTOR POINTERS) THAT WERE INTENDED FOR USE IN 1978 MODEL TRUCKS. USE OF THESE INSERTS COULD ALLOW THE ENGINE TO BE STARTED WITH THE SHIFT SELECTOR POSITIONED BETWEEN NEUTRAL (N) AND DRIVE (D) AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A FRONTAL COLLISION.
TWO DOOR VEHICLES. THE SHOULDER BELT ANCHORAGE ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CONTINUOUS LOOP SYSTEM MAY NOT WITHSTAND THE SPECIFIED LOAD REQUIREMENTS OF C.M.V.S.S. 210.
