No owner complaints are on file for this vehicle. It has been recalled 2 times.
Defect. THE TILT CAB, WHEN RAISED TO ITS FULLEST UP POSITION, CAN CAUSE THE STEERING SHAFT TO BIND AGAINST THE STEERING GEAR.
Risk. IF THE CONTACT IS SEVERE ENOUGH, THE STEERING GEAR INPUT SHAFT COULD CRACK RESULTING IN POTENTIAL FAILURE FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STEERING SLIP SHAFT AND THE STEERING GEAR.
Defect. THE WRONG BALL SOCKET ASSEMBLY WAS USED TO ATTACH THE STEERING ARMS TO BOTH THE STEERING DRAG LINK AND THE STEERING RAM ASSIST CYLINDER, RESULTING IN A BINDING CONDITION.
Risk. THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE THE BALL SOCKET TO FATIGUE, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BALL SOCKET ASSEMBLY ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
