Details

What's wrong: During manufacturing the steering wheel could have been improperly fastened and may detach from the steering column.

Why it matters: Should the steering wheel detach from the steering column while driving, the driver could lose the ability to steer the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect to ensure that the steering wheel is assembled properly. This service will be performed for you free of charge. The safety recall began on April 7, 2011.
