Recall Summary:
How to Fix:
Recall Notes:Am general campaign no n/a. Fleet van 1/2 ton. Built July 1 1973 thru april17 1974. Possibility of distortion of the boxed frame area at the steeringgear attaching location due to improperly located of "s" spacers on thevehicle. This may reduce the torque on the steering gear adapter retainingbolts. If this condition exists it could result in loss of steering ability. (correct by inspecting and reinforcing box frame to preclude loss of torque onsteering gear adapter retaining bolts).
