Recall Notes:
Possibility that the steering shaft lower bearing on regular size Chevrolet equipped with standard steering can eventually fail when operated under extreme conditions. A failure of the lower bearing by itself does not relate to motor vehicle safety. However in taxicab or police service which involves both high mileage and an unusually high number of turns per mile continued vehicle operation could result in scoring or grooving of the steering shaft with eventual shaft breakage and loss of steering control. (correct by inspection of bearing and shaft. Replace bearing if found necessary. )
