Safety Defect/Non Compliance Description and Safety Risk
Some vehicles may have been built with an outboard steering linkage jam nut that could loosen allowing one end of the drag link to separate from the adjuster sleeve. A drag link separation can result in a loss of directional steering control, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
Repair Description
Inspect the torque values. If the torque values meet requirement, the nuts will be welded to the adjuster sleeve. If the torque values do not meet requirement, the drag link assembly will be replaced.
Here is a picture.
Thanks for the picture. Mine is too muddy to see if there’s markings on it but both nuts seem tight.
