Details

What's wrong: The steering wheel center hub to spoke weld can fracture.

Why it matters: This condition will allow the steering wheel to separate from the steering column increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the steering wheel for the suspect steering wheel lot date code and replace any found to have this suspect date.
