On certain vehicles, the upper and lower steering column may be missing a bolt and nut missing. This could cause the steering column to slip out of the mating shaft when the column's adjustment mechanism is used. If this were to happen, steering function would be completely lost. Correction: Dealer will install a bolt and nut if missing. If they are present, dealer will torque to specs.
THE FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION RADIUS ROD LOCKING TAB PLATE BOLTS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN LUBRICATED BEFORE THE PROPER TORQUE WAS APPLIED. IMPROPER TORQUING MAY CAUSE LOOSENING OF THE ATTACHMENT AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME. THIS COULD RESULT IN DIMINISHED STEERING CONTROL. CORRECTION: NEW LOCKING TAB PLATES WILL BE INSTALLED AND BOLTS WILL BE CORRECTLY LUBRICATED AND TORQUED.
THE DIFFERENTIAL CROSS-MEMBER REINFORCEMENT IS INADEQUATE AND COULD CRACK UNDER CERTAIN ROUGH APPLICATIONS. A FAILED CROSS-MEMBER WOULD RELEASE THE TRANSVERSE ATTACHMENT OF THE DRIVE AXLE AND ALLOW IT TO MOVE RIGHT AND LEFT FOR APPROXIMATELY 3/4 INCH. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT STEERING CONTROL. CORRECTION: TWO ADDITIONAL REINFORCEMENTS WILL BE INSTALLED TO SOLIDIFY THE ASSEMBLY.
