What is wrong

What could happen
A steering shaft that detaches can result in a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Fontaine Modification will replace the intermediate steering shaft, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 3, 2025. Owners may contact Fontaine Modification customer service at 1-800-366-8246.
