Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

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.

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.
