Tie Rod: Recalls
Recall 99V248000: Tie Rod End Seal Failure
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. The tie rods of the steering assembly are protected on each side by a seal to prevent moisture and dust particles
from entering the swivel bearing mechanism. It is possible that some tie rod seals may not seal properly.
If moisture and/or dust particles enter the swivel bearing mechanism, the swivel bearing could wear over time diminishing the steering control of the
vehicle.
Dealers will replace the tie rods.
