Recall Notes:
Gillig campaign no n/a. Coach. Manuf from Jan 1 1962 thru Dec 13 1973. Possibility that the lower steering shaft bearing may fail due to oflubrication and/or the failure to maintain proper alignment with the gear box. If this occurs, it is possible for the bearing retainer cap to cut into thesteering shaft, materially weakening the shaft. Failure of shaft would resultin loss of steering. (correct by inspecting and installing proper lubricantand alignment of steering components).
