NHTSA safety recall

Recall 90V063000

Steering › Gear Box › Shaft Sector — Pierce · reported 2 Apr 1990 · 372 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS AT EACH END OF THE STEERING SHAFT ARE ATTACHED TO THE SHAFT WITH A KEY AND SET SCREW. THE SET SCREWS MAY LOOSEN AND ALLOW THE KEY TO FALL OUT OF PLACE.

The risk

IF THE KEY FALLS OUT, THE UNIVERSAL JOINT WOULD SPIN ON THE SHAFT, RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING AND A POSSIBLE CRASH.

The fix

MODIFY STEERING LINKAGE TO PREVENT SET SCREW FROM LOOSENING AND KEY FROM COMING OUT OF KEY WAY.

SYSTEM: STEERING LINKAGE. VEHICLE DESCRIPTIONS: FIRE TRUCK.
