Recall 04V299000: Potential Steering Shaft Separation

DEFECT: Certain passenger vehicles have a condition where the front frame rear body mount bracket may fracture and degrade to the point where the intermediate steering shaft could separate, resulting in loss of steering control, which increases the risk of a crash.


REMEDY: Dealers will inspect the front frame assembly and replace it if necessary. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during August 2004. Owners may contact Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
