Federal safety investigators are reporting that on certain trucks built with a TRW global adjustable upper steering column, two upper tilt plate bolts may loosen over time and fall out. They hold the upper column assembly in place. When parts fall off your steering system, things aren’t going to get better. Turns out that the steering column pivot may fracture if the bolts are missing when an excessive force is applied to the steering wheel.

The steering can respond different than expected and the driver can loose control.

The affected vehicles were manufactured between February 2006 and June 2007 and Freightliner estimates that about 40% of the trucks have the problem. The “missing and loose bolts” steering problem was discovered in mid May and federal safety officials notified in July 2007.
