The 1980 White White Truck has 3 NHTSA recall campaigns affecting an estimated 46,857 vehicles. Recall repairs are always free at any authorized dealer. Last updated July 5, 2026.
THE SLIP JOINT BETWEEN THE CAB MOUNTED STEERING COLUMN SHAFT AND THE FRAME MOUNTED STEERING GEAR MAY NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE. EXCESSIVE LOAD ON THE SLIP JOINT MAY CAUSE FAILURE OF THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT.
DEALER WILL INSPECT VEHICLE FOR CORRECT CLEARANCE AT THE SLIP JOINT. IF NECESSARY, A SPACER AND, IN SOME CASES, A NEW STEERING COLUMN WILL BE INSTALLED.
THE FRONT AXLE STEERING ARMS INSTALLED ON THE SUSPECT VEHICLES ARE OF A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION THAN THOSE DESIGNED FOR THE APPLICATION. USE OF THE WRONG STEERING ARM PRESENTS THE POTENTIAL FOR IMPROPER STEERING ARM TO DRAG LINK ADJUSTMENT, WHICH MAY RESULT IN STEERING LOCK-UP DURING A FULL RIGHT TURN.
DEALER WILL INSPECT THE SUSPECT VEHICLES AND REPLACE DEFECTIVE STEERING ARMS AT NO COST TO OWNER.
STEERING SHAFT BINDER BOLTS ON CERTAIN VEHICLES ARE EITHER LOOSE OR OVER-TIGHTENED. EITHER CONDITION CAN LEAD TO A SEPARATION OF THE STEERING SHAFT FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, EVEN IF THE FACTORY INSTALLED BOLT HAS BEEN PROPERLY RETIGHTENED.
UNIQUE BOLTS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED FOR THIS CAMPAIGN AND WILL BE INSTALLED ALONG WITH NEW NUTS. THIS WILL BE DONE AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
