The issue
On certain vehicles, the bolt that attaches the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear may fracture resulting in the loss of steering control. If this happens while the vehicle is moving, a crash could occur without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the intermediate steering shaft to steering gear bolt.
