Recall 1996187

The issue

On certain vehicles, the plastic pins and metal clip that retain the steering column lower shaft could break, causing the lower shaft to separate from the upper shaft. This would result in loss of steering control and a possible crash without prior warning. Correction: A restraining sleeve will be added to the intermediate shaft to limit the amount of axial steering column shaft movement possible in the event the plastic pins and metal clip are broken.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, il se peut que les tiges de plastique et le collier métallique qui retiennent la partie inférieure de la colonne de direction se brisent et que l’arbre inférieur se détache de l’arbre supérieur. Le conducteur pourrait alors perdre subitement le contrôle de la direction et avoir un accident. Correction: Un manchon de retenue devra être installé sur l’arbre intermédiaire pour limiter l’amplitude du mouvement axial de la colonne de direction si les tiges de plastique et le collier métallique viennent à briser.
