- Campaign:
- 94E014000 on 05/19/1994
- Component:
- Steering:wheel and handle bar
- Manufactured:
- 04/30/1993 - 03/31/1994
- Affected:
- 491
- Defect:
- The one-way valve in the steering dampers is used to control the hydraulic oil flow so that the oil volume inside the steering damper expands with temperature. the valve seat can become deformed during use, causing uncontrolled restriction of the oil flow. the deformed valve causes the internal pressure on the damper oils seals to increase from increased oil temperature and volume expansion.
- Consequence:
- The deformed valve seat causes increased friction forcecausing very hard damping, and could, in a severe case, cause loss of steeringcontrol and an accident.
- Correction:
- The one-way valve will be replaced.
