WIER the failure of 0.03 per cent of steering joints fitted to Redford CF vans, Vauxhall Motors has decided to replace the :omponent.
The chassis affected are GY606 174 and all higher GY lumbers, all HY numbers, all JY numbers and KY 600001 to KY 115137.
Only a few eases of failure have been reported and all have iappened at low speed when steering torque is at its highest. [he failure has involved a fracture of the joint between the ntermediate steering shaft and its coupling, resulting in ,a loss of aeering.
Rectification to date has not, in all cases, been satisfactory. [he new campaign will cover all those already treated as well as di others involved.
Vauxhall says that existing failure history does not suggest my significant risk.
