Affects Oldsmobile Ciera · 1983 — about 5K vehicles.

The hazard

THE REAR CRADLE BOLT COULD PULL THROUGH THE RETAINER DUE TO CORROSION OF THE RETAINER. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE CRADLE WOULD NO LONGER BE SUPPORTED AT THAT MOUNTING LOCATION AND THE STEERING SHAFT MAY SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: REAR CRADLE BOLTS AND RETAINERS WILL BE REPLACED.
