THE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING BOLTS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER TORQUE VALUE. IF NOT PROPERLY TORQUED, THE BOLTS COULD LOOSEN AND INTERFERE WITH THE PITMAN ARM ON THE STEERING GEAR. THIS COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A VEHICLE CRASH COULD RESULT. CORRECTION: THE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING BOLTS WILL BE INSPECTED AND EITHER REPLACED OR RETORQUED.
