On certain trucks, the fastener that attaches the pitman arm to the right side steering gear may have been tightened beyond its specified torque. An over torque condition may result in bolt fatigue and/or fracture of the fastener and allow the pitman arm to separate from the steering gear resulting in a loss ofrnsteering control. A loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the pitman arm fastener.
