The issue
On certain vehicles, the upper steering column pinch bolt may not have been properly torqued and could fall out. This condition could lead to loss of steering control and a possible crash without prior warning. Correction: Upper steering pinch bolts will be inspected for correct torque and retorqued if necessary.
