Recall number 97V124000 · Recall details

Steering: rack and pinionReported June 27, 1994 · 12,700 vehicles affected

What is wrong: The steering gears have an improperly machined snap ring groove. This can cause a fracture of the snap ring with subsequent damage to the recirculating ball guide tube. Also, the o-ring seal in vehicles built after february 1988 does not meet specifications and is inadequate, causing interior leakage around the o-ring / glide ring seal in the steering gear.
Risk: The fracture of the snap ring results in increasing deterioration of the ability to turn the vehicle to the right. The driver would experience increased steering efforts or a "crunchy" feeling at the steering wheel. The inadequate o-ring seal causes momentary reductions in power steering assist at low speed and certain left turn maneuvers. Both conditions result in decreased steering ability.
Remedy: Dealers will rebuild the steering gear. If a broken snap ring is found during rebuilding, the steering gear will be replaced with a remanufactured unit.

Recall number 94V118000 · Recall details

Electrical system: 12v/24v/48v batteryReported March 26, 1994 · 3,660 vehicles affected
