Holiday Rambler Corp.: Steering › Steering Wheel/Handle Bar
Holiday Rambler Corp. reported this defect to federal regulators on Feb 1, 1994 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 102. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
IMPROPER TORQUE OF THE RETAINING BOLTS AND NUTS OF THE STEERING COLUMN SLIP SHAFT, WHICH PROVIDES THE CONNECTING LINK BETWEEN THE UPPER STEERING COLUMN AND THE STEERING GEAR BOX, MAY CAUSE THE STEERING COLUMN SLIP SHAFT TO SEPARATE AT EITHER THE UPPER OR LOWER CONNECTION OF THE SHAFT.
The risk
SEPARATION OF THE STEERING COLUMN SLIP SHAFT AT EITHER THE UPPER OR LOWER CONNECTION OF THE SHAFT RESULTS IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THIS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The remedy
INSPECT AND RETORQUE THE SLIP SHAFT RETAINING BOLTS AND NUTS. HOWEVER, IF, AFTER THE INSPECTION, THE BOLTS AND NUTS ARE FOUND TO BE LOOSE OR OVERTORQUED, NEW BOLTS AND NUTS WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPERLY TORQUED.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 94V019000.
