Oldsmobile Silhouette: Steering
Affects Oldsmobile Silhouette · 1999 — about 34 vehicles.
The hazard
Certain vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the left and/or right front lower insulator to cradle centre metal sleeve is collapsed, which can result in loss of clamp load in the joint. If the clamp load is reduced or lost, the bolt can be lost or broken and the joint can separate. If not repaired, separation of the opposite side joint could occur and result in steering shaft separation. If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, a vehicle crash could result without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the left and right front lower cradle to suspension insulators and the attaching bolts.
