What's wrong: The tie rod end retaining nuts may not have been properly tightened at the factory.

Why it matters: The nut could loosen and fall off resulting in a sudden reduction or loss of steering control.

The fix: All vehicles will be inspected and corrected prior to customer delivery. No owner notification will be required.
