Steering

Recall date October 20, 1998
Models affected
  • 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  • 1999 GMC Sierra 1500
Units affected 890
Details

Certain vehicles have lower than specified torque on all three of the steering gear to frame attachment bolts.

In this condition, the bolts may loosen during the life of the vehicle.

Relative movement of the steering gear to frame may wear and/or fatigue the attaching bolts to the point of breakage or the bolts backing out.

This would result in steering gear separation and loss of steering control.

Correction: Steering gear to frame bolts will be torqued to the proper specification.
