THE REAR CRADLE BOLT COULD PULL THROUGH THE RETAINER DUE TO CORROSION OF THE RETAINER. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE CRADLE WOULD NO LONGER BE SUPPORTED AT THAT MOUNTING LOCATION AND THE STEERING SHAFT MAY SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: REAR CRADLE BOLTS AND RETAINERS WILL BE REPLACED.
Transport Canada recorded this notice in capitals, as its system did for many years. It is reproduced here exactly as published.
