Recall Notes:
Possibility that the lower steering shaft flexible coupling may have reduced flexibility due to insuffi- cient tolerance in assembly. Normal differences in movement between vehicle cab and chassis components could force the coupling upward and cause the lower steering shaft splines to become disengaged from matching splines on the lower steering shaft flange, with resultant loss of steering control. (inspect and replace coupling with adjustable spline type as required. )
