The defect

The coupling which attaches the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear may have oversized serrations which could prevent the coupling from being properly tightened in the steering gear shaft when the steering wheel IS turned. This may also cause free play in the steering wheel.

The remedy

The involved vehicles will have the couplings replaced.
