The exhaust downpipes installed on the involved vehicles may not permit proper clearance between the downpipes and the steering column lower joints. Upon making a hard full right turn, the exhaust downpipe and steering column could come into contact with each other. This could result in a loss of steering control.

The remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the exhaust downpipe with one of modified shape, without charge to owner.
