Taylor-Dunn recall: Steering
What is wrong
Taylor-Dunn is recalling certain model year 2011 Trident low speed vehicles manufactured from February 2011 through June 2011. The steering wheel shaft may be insufficiently welded to the U-joint.
What could happen
If the weld fails, steering control may be lost while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Taylor-Dunn will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering shafts, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in January 2013. Owners may contact Taylor-Dunn at 1-714-956-4040.
