What NHTSA recorded

On the involved vehicles, the pinch bolt that clamps the steering shaft yoke to the input shaft on the gearing box may be loose. The splined surfaces on the yoke and shaft could wear as a result. Continued usage could cause severe wear and eventual slippage of the joint.

Remedy

Dealer will replace the existing pinch bolt and nut with an improved type. To improve access to the bolt, dealer will eliminate the rubber boot and replace the metal dirt guard with a rubber protective cover.
