The issue

Certain vehicles serviced as part of recall 2013-287 (13S08) or special service campaign 13R01 may require re-inspection and repair. The service procedure may have resulted in over-extension of one part of a collapsible joint in the intermediate steering shaft. This could potentially result in the shaft becoming disconnected, resulting a loss of steering, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the intermediate shaft connection and replace the intermediate shaft if necessary.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules entretenus dans le cadre du rappel 2013­287 (13S08) ou de la campagne d'entretien spéciale 13R01 pourraient devoir être réinspectés et réparés. La procédure d'entretien pourrait avoir causé le rallongement excessif d'une pièce d'un joint télescopique dans l'arbre de direction intermédiaire. Cela pourrait causer le détachement de l'arbre, ce qui causerait une perte de la direction, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter le raccord de l'arbre intermédiaire et remplacer l'arbre si nécessaire.
