77V176000 · Steering:Column
Reported: 1977-10-14 (October 14, 1977)
THE STEERING COLUMNS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MISASSEMBLED, RESULTING IN THE MASTER SERRATION FOR STEERING WHEEL INDEXING BEING MISLOCATED BY 180 DEGREES. THE TIE ROD MAY HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED IN ATTEMPTING TO OVERCOME THIS CONDITION AND THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED INSUFFICIENT TIE ROD THREAD ENGAGEMENT TO THE SLEEVE ATTACHMENT.
Remedy: DEALER WILL REPLACE THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY WITH A CORRECTLY INDEXED ASSEMBLY WHICH WILL LOCATE THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE CORRECT POSITION. TIE ROD ASSEMBLY WILL ALSO BE INSPECTED AND ADJUSTED TO ENSURE PROPER THREAD ENGAGEMENT.
