2005 FORD F-550 CHASSIS CABTransport Canada Recall #2005093
Defect
On certain vehicles, the steering gear may contain a gear piston that was assembled with an incorrect re-circulating ball tube retainer. An incorrect retainer may result in an improperly retained re-circulating ball tube, which may not keep the re-circulating balls in place during steering gear actuation. If the re-circulating balls become dislodged, a vehicle operator may notice noise and increased steering efforts that may eventually progress to impaired steering or potential loss of steering control.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering gear.
