NHTSA recall 94V058000
Steering · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: These steering wheels and include a universal joint which is attached to steering shafts and secured by locking bolts. The universal joint's upper locking bolt was not sufficiently torqued during manufacture, and can eventually loosen.
Why it matters: If the upper locking bolt holding the steering assembly's universal joint loosens, it can render the steering system inoperative and cause an accident.
The fix: Dealers will remove the present universal upper locking bolt, install a new one, and torque it to specifications.
