What can happen

Safety consequence

ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES THE FLOORBOARD OPENING AND THE STEERING COLUMN SEAL BRACKET DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE TO ALLOW THE SHAFT TO TURN FREELY. THIS CAUSES THE PINCH BOLT TO BIND OR LOCK AGAINST THE SEAL BRACKET.

What fixes it

Official remedy

THE HOLE IN THE FLOORBOARD WILL BE ENLARGED TO ALLOW SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE OF THE STEERING COLUMN U-JOINT PINCH BOLT, AND A NEW BRACKET AND LAMP WILL BE INSTALLED AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
