1978-1985 S SERIES 1600-1900 TRUCKS AND BUSES.
THE STEERING ARM OF MODELS EQUIPPED WITH 10,800 OR 12,000 LB. CAPACITY FRONT AXLES AND ROSS POWER STEERING MAY CRACK AS THE RESULT OF REPEATED FUEL LOCK TURNS. DUE TO THE LACK OF END-OF-TRAVEL RELIEF FEATURES, THE STEERING GEAR CONTINUES TO POWER THE STEERING LINKAGE AFTER IT IS RESTRAINED BY THE AXLE STOP BOLT, RESULTING IN BENDING OF THE STEERING ARM AND EVENTUAL CRACK INITIATION. IF THESE CRACKS PROPOGATE TO COMPLETE FRACTURE OF THE ARM, LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL COULD OCCUR POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Ihc: 82 in the register, and 141 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1985.
