On certain heavy-duty class 8, VHD axle back vehicles. The telescoping steering shaft in some driving situations could bottom out and side load the steering gear input shaft whenever the adjustable steering column is adjusted to the lower position. Over time, this condition could damage the steering gear input shaft resulting in loss of vehicle control and a vehicle crash. Correction: dealers will install a re-designed steering shaft, which will not bottom out during vehicle operation regardless of where the adjustable steering column is positioned.
