Recall - Intermediate Steering Shaft loose: Overview

GM CANADA
5D13

Issued: 03-01-95

SUBJECT:
STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT

Models:
1995 Chevrolet Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds

TO: ALL GENERAL MOTORS DEALERS

General Motors of Canada Limited has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1995 Chevrolet Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds. Some of these vehicles were built with an improperly assembled steering intermediate shaft. This condition could cause the intermediate shaft lower coupling to loosen and rotate on the steering gear input shaft. If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, a loss of steering control could result and a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.

To prevent this condition from occurring, dealers are to inspect the intermediate steering shaft for the correct lower coupling and replace it as required.
