FRAME CRACKING IN THE AREA WHERE THE STEERING GEAR IS MOUNTED COULD RESULT IN THE STEERING GEAR SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME. THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.rnCORRECTION: REINFORCEMENTS WILL BE ADDED TO THE FRAME AND THE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING BOLTS WILL BE REPLACED. IF THE FRAME IS ALREADY CRACKED, THE STEERING GEAR WELD NUTS WILL ALSO BE REPLACED.
