Peterbilt 389: Steering

The hazard

On certain vehicles equipped with the "Pride & Class" option, the steering wheel fastener nut may have been insufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly, or an incorrect nut may have been installed. This could allow the steering wheel to become loose and slip in relation to the steering column shaft, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the nut and replace/re-torque as necessary.
