Details

What's wrong: These vehicles may have an ignition lock assembly with improperly seated key cylinder cap connector pins. Vibration can cause the connecting pins to loosen and/or fall out allowing the key cylinder cap to disengage from the key cylinder.

Why it matters: If this occurs, the steering wheel lock rod can move, which could lock the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the ignition lock assembly and assemblies with loose or missing end cap connector pins will be replaced. A ring clip will be installed on all others to prevent loosening of the pins.
