Iveco Eurotrekker: Steering Cylinder Clamp Bolts Will Not Achieve Correct Torque

Recall Summary IVECO is recalling 18 EUROTREKKER vehicles because the bolts that secure the steering cylinder ball joints cannot be tightened to the proper specification, which may cause them to loosen over time. The steering components will be inspected and the affected nuts and bolts will be replaced and properly tightened. This recall affects vehicles distributed in the United Kingdom.

Product
Vehicles: IVECO EUROTREKKER. Units affected: 18
Reason

Replace the nuts and bolts that clamp the ball joints to the ram and cylinder and tighten them to the correct torque.
