Official summary
"situation: an issue has been identified on a number of xf (x250), xj (x351), and xk (x150) vehicles where the residual torque on the steering gear pinion bolt could be below the lower specification and in some cases the customer may experience a knocking noise from the steering gear. The latter will only be the case if the early steering degradation is ignored by the customer."
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
