The issue
On certain vehicles, an incorrect steering shaft may have been installed during vehicle assembly. As a result, the shaft could become loose at the steering box during tight steering manoeuvres. If this occurs, steering control could be lost, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering intermediate shafts.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, le mauvais arbre de direction pourrait avoir été posé pendant le montage. Dans un tel cas, l'arbre pourrait se desserrer au niveau du boîtier de direction lors de virages serrés. Si cela se produisait, le conducteur pourrait perdre le contrôle de la direction, ce qui pourrait causer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront mettre sur pied un programme d'inspection des châssis visés et, s'il y a lieu, remplacer les arbres intermédiaires de direction.
