Summary Certain Passenger Vehicles and Mini Vans Have Lower Pinion Bearings IN THE Power Rack and Pinion Assembly IN Which THE Retainer Tabs Were NOT Crimped Properly.

IN ANY OF These Conditions, A Crash Could Occur.
Remedy Dealers Will Install A NEW Lower Pinion Bearing Unless Inspect OF THE Existing Bearing Indicates That Replacement OF THE Gear Assembly IS Necessary. Owner Notification Began January 24, 2003.
