Hazard
The weld of the reinforcement plate at the vehicle body mounting point of the steering gearbox is inadequate. Repeated driving that applies excessive force to the steering shaft, such as curb strikes during steering operations, may cause cracks at this location. In the worst case, steering control function may be impaired.

Remedy
All vehicles will be inspected and welding will be added to the reinforcement plate at the mounting point. For units with existing cracks, an additional reinforcement plate will be welded in place.
