Details

On certain vehicles, the connection at the intermediate shaft or the intermediate extension shaft may become loose or the intermediate shaft sleeve may develop a crack under certain operating conditions.

The connection may separate or the shaft sleeve may fracture, which could result in the loss of steering control and an increased risk of a crash.

Correction: Dealers will replace the steering intermediate shaft.

In addition, the dealer will inspect the sliding yoke and the intermediate extension shaft and replace them if necessary.
