The issue
On certain vehicles, if the steering wheel is repeatedly turned under conditions where high steering effort and power assist are required, for instance, when fully turning the wheel while the vehicle is stopped, a fatigue crack may develop in the steering relay rod. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering relay rod.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, si on effectue des manoeuvres de braquage répétées qui exigent d'exercer un effort important sur le volant ou qui sollicitent fortement la servodirection, comme quand on tourne le volant alors que le véhicule est arrêté, une fissure de fatigue peut se développer dans la tringle de direction intermédiaire. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la tringle de direction intermédiaire.
