Recall 2009303

The issue

On certain vehicles, the steering gear housing cover screw may have been manufactured out of specification and the axial tension between the screw and gear housing may deteriorate over time. This could allow the screw to gradually loosen, which will cause the steering wheel to exhibit noticeable looseness from the steering assembly. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the screw may eventually come out of the steering gear housing. If large steering inputs are made with the cover screw missing, the pinion shaft may come out of the steering gear. This may result in a loss of steering control, which could lead to a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect whether the steering gear cover screw is loose. If it is loose, it will be retightened to the proper specification. In addition, the dealer will install a cover plate to prevent the screw from possibly coming out of the steering gear.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, la vis de protection du carter du boîtier de direction pourrait ne pas respecter les spécifications, et la tension axiale entre la vis et le carter du boîtier de direction pourrait diminuer à la longue. Cela pourrait permettre à la vis de se desserrer graduellement, ce qui ferait en sorte que le volant présente un jeu notable. Si on continuait à utiliser le véhicule dans cet état, la vis pourrait finir par sortir du carter du boîter de direction.Lors d'un braquage important des roues avant en l'absence de la vis de protection, l'arbre de pignon pourrait sortir du boîtier de direction. Cela pourrait causer une perte de contrôle de la direction, ce qui pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels, blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vies. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront vérifier si la vis de protection du boîtier de direction est desserrée. Si oui, ils devront la resserrer au bon couple de serrage.
