Hazard description
On certain vehicles, the tie rod end can pull outboard and separate from the tie rod tube. This condition may occur as a result of improper thread engagement between the tie rod threads and the tie rod tube threads. Improper thread engagement plus the possibility of improper clamp load on the tube clamp could cause separation of the tie rod tube and loss of steering control. Correction: Tie rod assembly will be replaced.
