NOTE:  This recall applies only to the above vehicles.

NOTE:  Some vehicles above may have been identified as not involved in this recall and therefore have been excluded from this recall.

IMPORTANT:  Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory.  Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery.  Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service.  Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.

 

Subject

The steering column on about 50 of the above vehicles may have been built with an improperly machined steering column stub shaft that may break, and could allow the steering wheel to detach from the steering column.  A steering wheel separation from the steering column may result in a loss of steering control, and can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning, as well as a compromised driver front impact safety system, increasing the risk of driver injury in a vehicle crash.

 

Repair

Inspect the steering column, and if necessary replace the steering column assembly in all affected vehicles.

 

Alternate Transportation

Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that a steering column is required and the vehicle must be held overnight.

Service Procedure

A.  Inspect Steering Column

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, the driver airbag trim cover must never be painted. Replacement airbags are serviced with trim covers in the original colors. Paint may change the way in which the material of the trim cover responds to an airbag deployment. Failure to observe this warning could result in occupant injuries upon airbag deployment.  

 

  1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable(s) then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge.
  2. For DT trucks, Locate the access hole dimples (1) in the lower surface of the steering wheel hub rear trim cover near each of the two horizontal spokes (Figure 1).
Figure 1 – Access Hole Dimples (DAB)

Figure 1 – Access Hole Dimples (DAB)

 

  1. For DT trucks, using the Remover, Driver Air Bag 2050200100, pierce the trim cover at the dimple and insert it through one of the steering wheel access holes. A guide and notch integral to each side of the steering wheel hub rear trim cover and the mounting/horn switch plate will assist in directing the tool to the ends of the retainer spring.
  2. For DT trucks, when the tool makes contact with the retainer spring, push inward (toward the steering column) on the tool far enough to disengage the retainer spring from under the hook of the steering wheel armature.
  3. For DT trucks, pull the released side of the DAB away from the steering wheel far enough to insert a trim stick or another long and thin obstacle between the released spoke of the DAB trim cover and the steering wheel spoke hub cavity. This will help to prevent the released end of the retainer spring from becoming accidentally engaged again while the opposite end of the retainer spring is being released.
  4. For DT trucks, repeat Steps 3 and 4 for the opposite end of the retainer spring.
  5. For JL vehicles, remove the two access panel closeouts on the steering wheel near each of the two horizontal spokes (Figure 2).
  6. For JL vehicles, remove and save the two driver airbag retaining bolts from the driver airbag (Figure 2).
Figure 2 – Driver Airbag

  1. Pull the DAB away from the steering wheel far enough to access the steering wheel wire harness connector to the DAB inflator initiators (Figure 3).
Figure 3 – Wire Harness Connectors (DT shown, JL Similar)

Figure 3 – Wire Harness Connectors (DT shown, JL Similar)

 

CAUTION: Do not pull on the clockspring pigtail wires or pry on the connector insulators to disengage them from the Driver AirBag (DAB) inflator initiator connector receptacles. Improper removal of these pigtail wires and their connector insulators can result in damage to the airbag circuits or the connector insulators.  

 

  1. The clockspring DAB pigtail wire connector insulators are secured by integral latches and a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock to the airbag tether cutter and inflator connector receptacles, which are located on the back of the floating horn switch plate and the DAB housing. Pull the lock straight away from the connector insulator, then pull the insulators straight away from the connector receptacles to disengage and disconnect them.
  2. Remove the DAB and floating horn switch plate from the steering wheel as a unit (Figure 4).

  1. Insert the tool into the steering column stub shaft until tool bottoms out in steering column (Figure 6).
  2. Release blue button.
  3. Pull back on tool until the tool bottoms out inside of the shaft.
  • If you do not see the RED scribe line on the tool outside of the column shaft, the column is GOOD. Continue to Step 16.
  • If you do see the RED scribe line on the tool outside of the column shaft. The steering column is DEFECTIVE. Vehicle is required to have column replaced. Push blue button to remove tool from shaft. Continue to Section Replace DT Steering Column or Section C. Replace JL Steering Column.

  1. For DT trucks, position the DAB close enough to the steering wheel to connect the steering wheel wire harness connectors to the DAB inflator initiators.
  2. For DT trucks, connect the clockspring pigtail wire connectors to the airbag inflator initiator connector receptacles by pressing straight in on the connector insulator. Be certain to engage each keyed and color-coded connector to the matching connector receptacle. Be certain that each connector is fully engaged in its receptacle, then push the connector lock straight into the connector to lock it in place.
  3. For DT trucks, carefully position the DAB to the steering wheel hub cavity while tugging lightly upward on the clockspring pigtail wires for the airbag and tucking the wires in the upper hub cavity of the steering wheel. Be certain that none of the steering wheel wiring is pinched between the airbag housing or the horn switch and the steering wheel armature.
  4. For DT trucks, using both hands, push firmly and evenly on both sides of the DAB trim cover until both ends of the spring retainer have snapped in place under the hooks within the hub cavity of the steering wheel. Continue to Step 26.
  5. For JL vehicles, position the DAB close enough to the steering wheel to access the steering wheel wire harness connectors to the DAB inflator initiators.
  6. For JL vehicles, connect the clockspring pigtail wire connectors to the airbag inflator initiator connector receptacles by pressing straight in on the connector insulator. Be certain to engage each keyed and color-coded connector to the matching connector receptacle. Be certain that each connector is fully engaged in its receptacle, then push the connector lock straight into the connector to lock it in place.
  7. For JL vehicles, carefully position the DAB to the steering wheel hub cavity while tugging lightly upward on the clockspring pigtail wires for the airbag and tucking the wires to the steering wheel. Be certain that none of the steering wheel wiring is pinched between the airbag housing or the horn switch and the steering wheel armature.
  8. For JL vehicles, using both hands, push firmly and evenly on both sides of the DAB trim cover until you can line the bolts up to the DAB. Install and tighten the bolts to the proper 9 N·m (80 in. lbs.).
  9. For JL vehicles, install the two access panel closeouts on the steering wheel near each of the two horizontal spokes.
  10. Do not connect the battery negative cable at this time. Continue with Section Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Verification Test.
