The defect
The lower steering shaft coupling on the involved vehicles may have an oversized serration diameter in the attachment area to the steering gear shaft. Since this oversized coupling may not be adequately engaged on the steering gear shaft, the attachment may loosen, resulting in steering free play.
The remedy
The dealer will replace the lower steering shaft coupling assemblies on the involved vehicles with properly machined components. This will be done at no charge.
