Certain vehicles may develop a crack in the left frame rail near the point of power steering gear attachment. If the crack progresses through most or all of the rail section, some wandering or mushy steering sensation may be experienced due to increased steering system free play but the operator would not lose control of the vehicle.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1980032.
