Issue
On certain trucks, the steering shaft may not have been properly installed on the steering gear. As a result, the shaft could separate from the steering gear and cause a loss of steering.
Safety Risk
A loss of steering control could create the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions
Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a DTNA authorized service facility to inspect the steering shaft and ensure that it is installed correctly. It will be repaired, if necessary.
