Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the power assist delivered by the steering rack may not be fully available while making extreme left hand turns for a prolonged period of time. An internal o-ring of the steering rack can become dislodged or dislocated causing a loss of power assist to the driver.

Why it matters: Such circumstances could lead to a reduction in vehicle control, which could result in a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the steering rack free of charge. The recall began on January 3, 2006.
