models produced in Japan.
BACKGROUND
Some affected vehicles may have a steering drift condition (tendency to drift to one side) when the steering wheel is released. The drift can be to either
the left or right side of the road. Steering drift can be caused by one or more of the following conditions:
^
Crosswinds
^
Road crown
^
Incorrect tire inflation
^
Tire construction
^
Wheels out of alignment
^
Worn suspension parts
Steering drift may also occur if the vehicle's tires are different than the originally equipped tires.
Thorough diagnosis is essential for correct repair of steering drift. The flowchart in this bulletin contains the diagnosis steps that must be followed in
order to properly correct steering drift on affected vehicles.
