What NHTSA recorded

On the involved vehicles, the steering wheel retainer nut and both ends of the intermediate steering shaft assembly universal joint retaining hardware (consisting of the pinch bolt and nuts), may not have been tightened to specifications. This would allow the nuts to loosen and gradually back off.

Remedy

Dealer will tighten all suspect nuts to correct specifications, without charge to owner.
