The defect
The holes in the steering wheel spoke are too large to properly fit over the mating pins on the hub allowing rotational "free play" and causing the pins to shear off.
The risk
This could cause loss of steering control that could result in an accident.
The remedy
Retrofit with hub plate to prevent steering wheel from coming loose from the hub.
