Steering: gear box (other than rack and pinion)
- What is wrong
- Due to the type of lubricant used in the steering transfer gear assembly, the effort required to turn the steering wheel at low ambient temperatures (less than -30 c) could increase to the point where some drivers would have difficulty in turning the wheel.
- Risk
- This condition could result in the inability to change the direction of the vehicle while attempting to turn the wheel, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers are replacing the steering transfer gear assembly with a new assembly having different lubricant.
