98V237000 · Steering:Gear Box (Other Than Rack And Pinion)

Reported: 1998-09-29 (September 29, 1998)

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES EQUIPPED WITH POWER STEERING. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH AN INCORRECT INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. THE OVERLAP IN THE SLIP JOINT IS INSUFFICIENT ALLOWING THE STEERING SHAFT TO SEPARATE.

Consequence: THIS COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF STEERING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING SHAFT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT.

Consequence: EVENTUALLY, ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD CEASE, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW POWER STEERING HOSE AND ADAPTER.
