Condition
Some customers may comment that the assist step skid pad is warped.
Cause
The fasteners on the bottom side of the skid pad have interference to the attaching slots in the metal plate of the step assembly. This interference causes
the pad to warp between the fasteners when exposed to sun and heat.
Correction
A new assist step skid pad has been released for service to correct this condition. This new pad has revised fasteners that provide more clearance to the
attaching slots in the metal plate. Replace the assist step skid pads using the procedure and part numbers listed below.
1.
Remove the assist step skid pad using a door trim panel tool.
