| Description |
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH A TRW TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN, THE TILT LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE STEERING COLUMN MAY DISENGAGE. THIS COULD PREVENT THE STEERING COLUMN FROM LOCKING IN TO PREDETERMINED POSITIONS. |
| Consequences |
SHOULD THE LOCKING MECHANISM DISENGAGE, THE TILTING TRAVEL OF THE COLUMN WOULD BE UNRESTRICTED. THIS UNRESTRICTED TRAVEL ALLOWS THE STEERING WHEEL TO IMPACT THE DASH AND COULD LIMIT THE MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. |
| Corrective action |
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TILT LOCKING MECHANISM WITH A REVISED DESIGN THAT INCORPORATES A NEW BRACKET FOR RESTRAINING THE TILTING MECHANISM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KENWORTH AT 1-425-828-5440. |
