Certain vehicles may have been assembled with insufficient tightening torque of the drag link attaching nuts, which could result in an increased rate of wear for the drag link connections at the Steering Arm and Pitman Arm. This could result in increased steering wheel free play and could ultimately result in a loss of steering control of the vehicle. Correction: Dealers will tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
