<VV> Auto Recalls (all except 1960) now Steering shaft bearing recall

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Hey guys,
The 1967 Corvair recall was a serious matter... it had something to do with 
one of the bearings in the steering column. The race would get cockeyed and 
would actually cut THROUGH the steering shaft if neglected very long. It only 
affected a small number of '67s, but I know of one that slipped through the 
cracks... one of the guys in the Cincinati club (Roger Jennings, some of you guys 
know him) had a 67 convertible that his son Jon was moving out of the garage 
and the steering wheel just started spinning... the shaft was cut right in 
half.... at least it didn't happen on the road!
I think someone might have the VINs for the faulty cars, but I have no idea 
how you would tell if the replacement bearings have been installed.
Who keeps track of that stuff anyway?
Later,
Lonzo... no '67s
