Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

ZF North America, Inc. is recalling 751 Global Steering Columns with part number A14-20679-001. The bolts that secure the upper and lower steering shafts may not have been tightened correctly during manufacturing, which could lead to the parts separating while the vehicle is in use. ZF is working with Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) to inspect and replace the steering shafts and bolts at no cost to owners.

Risk

If the steering shaft bolts loosen and the components separate, the driver will lose control of the vehicle's steering. This sudden loss of control significantly increases the likelihood of a crash.
