Recall 93V172000
Steering › Linkages — Kenworth · reported 25 Oct 1993 · 500 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
THESE TRUCKS DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER CUTOUT IN THE FRONT DROP RAIL SECTION OF THE FRAME RAIL. WITHOUT THE PROPER CUTOUT, THE STEERING DRIVELINE GREASE FITTING WILL INTERFERE WITH THE FLANGE OF THE CHASSIS RAIL.
The risk
STEERING DRIVELINE INTERFERENCE WOULD PREVENT PROPERSTEERING CONTROL. THE CONDITION CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY.
The fix
DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR PROPER CUTOUT AND ADEQUATE CLEARANCE WITH THE GREASE FITTING. IF ADEQUATE CLEARANCE DOES NOT EXIST, A CUTOUT WILL BE ADDED TO THE DROP RAIL.
SYSTEM: STEERING; LINKAGES.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH A FORWARD MOUNTED SHEPPARDM100 STEERING GEAR.
