Recalls

On certain vehicles, the nut that attaches the steering wheel assembly to the steering column may be upside down in the steering wheel assembly.

This could overstress the steering column shaft when the nut is tightened.

In addition, the nut may have been cracked during manufacture, which could result in the nut fracturing when it is tightened during vehicle assembly.

Either of these conditions could potentially lead to the steering wheel becoming loose or separating from the steering column.

This could result in loss of steering control and a crash without prior warning.

Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the steering wheel retention armature an, if necessary, the steering column will be replaced.
