What's wrong?
On the 2020 E-One Cyclone Ii, Typhoon, and Typhoon N, the IFS-FT independent front suspension carries the front axle load and helps hold the steering parts in position. The steering gear is the box that turns steering-wheel input into movement at the front wheels, and its mounting bolts keep that gear fixed to the suspension structure.
In this recall, those steering gear mounting bolts can loosen and back out. Once the gear is no longer held tightly, steering input is not transferred cleanly to the wheels. The driver then has difficulty steering because the gear is shifting instead of staying fixed while the front wheels are being directed.
Owners have a warning sign before failure. The steering can feel vague, or the vehicle can wander instead of tracking straight. If either shows up, describe it to the dealer as steering looseness or vehicle wandering tied to the steering gear mounting bolts.
