STEERING
- The defect
- Global Environmental Products (Global) is recalling certain 2021-2022 M4 (M4, R4, M4 HSD) and M4 CNG sweeper vehicles. The steering gears may have been incorrectly assembled, which can cause the gears to fracture.
- What it can cause
- A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Global will replace the steering gears, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 24, 2022. Owners may contact Global's customer service at 1-909-703-1600.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 5 vehicles this is a small campaign: 95% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Global Environmental Products with NHTSA on August 8, 2022 as campaign 22V598000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
