Bulletin No.: T-93-96
File in Group: 3
Number: 21
Corp.Ref.No.: 333203
Date: May, 1993

SUBJECT:
STEERING WHEEL RETURNABILITY (REPLACE POWER STEERING GEAR VALVE ASSEMBLY)

MODELS AFFECTED:
1992 BROUGHAMS
1993 FLEETWOODS AND FLEETWOOD BROUGHAMS (RWD)

Some customers may comment on slower steering wheel returnability particularly during a low speed turning maneuver on 1992 Broughams and 1993 Fleetwoods and Fleetwood Broughams (RWD) with variable effort steering.

This condition may be caused by low system steering effort requirements at slow speed and off-center mass distribution of the steering wheel with SIR (Supplemental Inflatable Restraint).

To correct this condition replace existing power steering gear valve assembly with new assembly, P/N 26042103.

Follow applicable Service Information Manual procedures in Section 3B and 3B1, Power Steering Gear and Pump.

Parts are expected to be available on June 7, 1993.
