The issue

On certain vehicles, the castellated nut and cotter pin on the steer axle may not have been tightened to specification. This could cause the tie rod to become loose in the steer axle, which would result in audible noise and/or looseness in steering. If the vehicle were continued to be operated in this condition, the tie rod could disconnect from the knuckle, resulting in a complete loss of control of a vehicle wheel, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nuts on the tie rod, and replace the tie rod stud and knuckle as necessary.

Description (français)

Dans certains véhicules, l'écrou crénelé et la goupille fendue sur l'essieu directeur pourraient avoir été mal serrés. Par conséquent, la biellette de direction pourrait devenir lâche dans l'essieu directeur, ce qui provoquerait un son audible et/ou une direction lâche. Si le véhicule est utilisé dans cet état, la biellette de direction pourrait se détacher du joint d'articulation, ce qui causerait une perte complète de maîtrise d'une roue du véhicule. Cela augmenterait les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront vérifier le couple de serrage des écrous crénelés sur la biellette de direction, ainsi que remplacer le goujon de la biellette de direction et le joint d'articulation au besoin.
