On certain motorcycles, an incorrect screw may have been installed in the steering head assembly.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering head screw. *** This notice is provided for information purposes only as no affected motorcycles were sold in Canada. ***
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE POWER STEERING LOW-PRESSURE LINE MAY NOT BE FULLY SEATED AT THE RACK AND PINION STEERING GEAR.
IF THIS LINE BECOMES DISCONNECTED, IT MAY CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLUID TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SMOKE OR FIRE.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE POWER STEERING LOW-PRESSURE LINE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS SEATED PROPERLY AT THE RACK AND PINION STEERING GEAR. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN NOVEMBER 10, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673.
On certain vehicles, the nut that secures the axial joint of the left steering tie rod to the steering gear box may not have been tightened securely. This could lead to loosening of the nut and, initially to steering wheel play and/or misalignment, as well as noise from the steering linkage. If vehicle operation continues, the tie rod could disconnect from the steering gear box. If this were to occur, loss of steering control could result.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and re-torque the nut securing the axial joint of the left steering tie rod. If the torque of the nut is found to be loose, the right nut will also be checked and
THE STEERING COLUMN LOWER PINCH BOLT WAS NOT PROPERLY TIGHTENED DURING ASSEMBLY.
AN UNDERTORQUED PINCH BOLT CAN RATTLE AND CAUSE LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. IF THE PINCH BOLT BACKED OUT OF THE JOINT COMPLETELY, ROTATION OF THE STEERING SHAFT AGAINST THE CONNECTOR COULD CAUSE INCREASING LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING SYSTEM AND RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING AND AN ACCIDENT.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING COLUMN PINCH BOLT FOR CORRECT TORQUE AND, IF NECESSARY, TIGHTEN THE BOLT TO THE SPECIFIED TORQUE.
On certain vehicles, the front subframe could corrode over time. If this happens, suspension or steering parts could eventually detach from it. This could affect steering control.
A loss of steering control could increase the risk of a crash.
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the front subframe (integral carrier) and replace it, if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the nuts for the ball joints that connect the front upper control arms to the steering knuckles may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the upper control arm could separate from the knuckle. If this happens, there could be a loss of steering control. Note: This is an expansion of recall 24S64 (Transport Canada recall no. 2024-620).
A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect for loose and/or missing nut(s). If any loose or missing nuts are found, the dealer will replace the ball joint(s) and steering knuckle(s).
On certain vehicles, the steering gearbox may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the inner joint may loosen and detach from the steering rack, causing a loss of steering control.
A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.
Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering gearbox assembly.
On certain vehicles equipped with the 2.0L GTDI engine, a bolt retaining a Front End Auxiliary Drive ( FEAD ) idler pulley may fail. This could cause the hydraulic power assisted steering system to stop functioning which would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the FEAD pulley assembly with an updated version.
On certain motorcycles, the handlebar may not have been properly welded. As a result, the inner and outer sections of the handlebar could separate and cause a loss of steering control.
A loss of steering control could create the risk of a crash.
Harley-Davidson will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to replace the handlebar.
On certain vehicles, the center position of the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) may not be stored correctly due to improper logic of skid control ECU programming. If this occurs, in most cases the VSC/TRAC warning light will illuminate. However, in limited situations the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system could activate at low speed (approximately 15 km/hr) for a few seconds after acceleration from a stopped position, and the vehicle may not accelerate as quickly as the driver expects. This could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will re-program the skid control ECU.
IF THE PLASTIC PINS AND METAL CLIP THAT RETAIN THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT IN THE UPPER SHAFT BREAK, THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT CAN SEPARATE FROM THE UPPER SHAFT.
IF THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT SEPARATES FROM THE UPPER SHAFT, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL CAN OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
DEALERS WILL ADD A RESTRAINING SLEEVE TO THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF AXIAL STEERING COLUMN SHAFT MOVING IN THE EVENT THE PLASTIC PINS AND METAL CLIP ARE BROKEN.
Certain vehicles equipped with electric power steering may experience a sudden loss of power steering assist that could occur at any time while driving. If the power steering assist is lost, a message is displayed on the Driver Information Centre and a chime sounds to inform the driver. Steering control can be maintained, as the vehicle will revert to a manual steering mode, but requires greater driver effort at low vehicle speeds. Unless a driver compensates for this additional steering effort, loss of power steering assist may increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Vehicles will receive a special extended warranty coverage for a period of 10 years/240,000 km, whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership. Under this special coverage program, for 2005 & 2006 model year vehicles, dealers will replace the steering column. For 2008 model year vehicles, dealers will replace the power steering motor control module.
Certain vehicles may have been built with a power steering hose that is not to specification. Under extreme steering manoeuvres, such as turning the steering wheel fully to the left or right while braking, the hose may fracture and leak fluid. If this were to occur, power steering assist would be lost and increased steering effort would be required. On vehicles equipped with hydro-boost power brakes, it could also result in loss of power brake assist and increase braking effort would be required. If power steering fluid were to spray onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the power steering hose(s) for two suspect date codes and replace them if required.
Certain vehicles may have been built with a casting defect in the rack and pinion steering gear die-cast housing. This could result in a crack causing a loss of hydraulic fluid and a sudden increase in steering effort, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the steering gear housing and replace the rack and pinion assembly as necessary.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2014 Ford F-150 trucks manufactured May 26, 2014 to June 19, 2014, and equipped with Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS). The affected vehicles may have an incorrectly installed EPAS gear motor position sensor magnet that can lead to a total loss of steering control while driving.
A loss of steering control while driving increases the risk of a vehicle crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the EPAS steering gear, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Note: Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until they have been remedied. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S09.

On certain VF750F, due to production tolerances a possibility exists of a loose fit between the handlebar tube and arm. Under such conditions stresses are transmitted direct to a retaining pin. If the pin breaks due to such stresses, the handlebar tube may become loose and cause loss of vehicle control.
