    NHTSA 86V081000 Reported 499 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Steering control arm can be overstressed with heavy steering input causing it to crack and it could eventually break completely. Consequence of defect: if the steering control arm breaks, complete loss of steering ability and truck control would occur without warning which could result in an accident.

    Remedy: Install new steering arm and other steering system hardware which will prevent overstressing input conditions from occurring.

    Model years: 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985
