What NHTSA recorded

An intermediate steering shaft containing a mismatched pot coupling assembly may have been installed on the involved vehicles. This coupling may have an oversized serration diameter. An oversized serration could prevent the coupling from adequately tightening onto the gear or shaft splines.

Remedy

The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install a replacement shaft coupling.
