Defect

METRIC GRADE 8.8 BOLTS WERE MIXED IN INVENTORY WITH METRIC GRADE 10.9 BOLTS. INCORRECT GRADE BOLTS (8.8) WERE USED IN ATTACHING THE 710 SAGINAW STEERING GEAR TO THE FRAME.

Consequence

THE USE OF INCORRECT BOLTS CAN CAUSE THE STEERING GEAR TO SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME CAUSING A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL METRIC GRADE 8.8 BOLTS WITH THE CORRECT METRIC GRADE 10.9 BOLTS, LOCTITE WILL BE INSTALLED INTO THE BOLT HOLE, AND THE BOLTS WILL BE TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION.
