What can happen

Safety consequence

ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE ROLLER BEARING INSIDE THE STEERING GEAR BOX COULD BECOME DISLOCATED. THIS COULD CAUSE LOOSENESS AND EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING SYSTEM.

What fixes it

Official remedy

DEALER WILL INSTALL A LOCK PLATE TO ENSURE THAT THE ROLLER BEARING STAYS IN ITS DESIGNED POSITION, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
