1 NHTSA recall campaign on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
THE INCORRECT STEERING ARM MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN PRODUCTION. THE LOCATION OF THIS STEERING ARM CAN CAUSE AN INCREASED BEND IN THE LOWER DRAG LINK, OR POSSIBLY RUPTURE THE BALL STUD.
Remedy
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE DEFECTIVE STEERING ARMS WITH NEW ONES WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNERS.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 1 recall campaign affecting the 1976 Autocar Dc10364b. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
