Details

On certain vehicles, corrosion may form in the lower steering column joint and limit the movement of the joint.

Limited movement of this joint may create excessive load on the lower steering column shaft and, if the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, may lead to cracking of the shaft during low speed manoeuvres that require large steering inputs.

In an extreme case, the shaft may break which would result in loss of steering control and could result in a crash.

Correction: Dealers will replace the affected column shafts and joints.
