HOLIDAY RAMBLER CORP. recall for steering, reported to NHTSA on Feb 1, 1994, covering about 102 vehicles.
The problem
Improper torque of the retaining bolts and nuts of the steering column slip shaft, which provides the connecting link between the upper steering column and the steering gear box, may cause the steering column slip shaft to separate at either the upper or lower connection of the shaft.
The risk
Separation of the steering column slip shaft at either the upper or lower connection of the shaft results in loss of steering control. This could occur without warning and result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Inspect and retorque the slip shaft retaining bolts and nuts. However, if, after the inspection, the bolts and nuts are found to be loose or overtorqued, new bolts and nuts will be installed and properly torqued.
