Sterling Condor: Steering
Affects Sterling Condor · 2000–2004 — about 73 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the steering gear to the chassis mounting bracket have less than full thread engagement. The bolts may become loose and allow the steering gear to separate from the chassis, which may lead to a loss of steering control, resulting in a possible vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will install longer bolts.
