| Subject: STEERING BINDING | Summary: Odi's preliminary evaluation focused on the potential for a broken, bent, deformed, fragmented or displaced turn signal canceling ring ("tscr"), vtna part number 1607363, to restrict thevehicle operator's ability to turn the steering wheel.the pe identified thirteen vtna warranty claims that allege that the tscr had "failed" and that the vehicle steering effort had been adversely affected.to date, odi has not found any samples of a "failed" tscr and has not been able to definitively establish whether a "failed" tscr can or cannot contribute to increased steering effort.odi believes that it is appropriate to conduct further investigation(ea level) to better understand the characteristics of tscr "failures" and to assess the effect, if any, that these types of failures could have on vehicle steering effort. |
