100 series Recall Notice (VOSA)

[Gary Stockton]

I was checking VOSA for recalls (bored, hey!) when I came across this notice:

Reference : R/2010/108
Recall Details
Concern : LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
Description : If the vehicle is subject to unusually severe impacts to the front wheel, it is possible that the fixing component on the steering shaft can become disengaged. If this occurs and the steering is repeatedly placed on full lock, it is possible that over time the steering shaft could become disconnected, so resulting in loss of directional control.
Remedial Action : Recall affected vehicles to check shaft and relace fixing component with a new design. If the shaft is found to be damaged, this will be relaced also.
Vehicle Id : JTEHT05J#02030163 to JTEHT05J#02103570

the website reference is this

Not sure what the remedy is - check your VIN and get hold of Mr T if you're affected, I guess?

Cheers

iirc, this is for those with vgrs, variable steering ratio. Didn't we have a thread on it last year?

For pure peace of mind a trip to Hereford might be in order.......
