What NHTSA recorded

The mounting bracket and retainers which hold the steering idler arm in place can become loose. The idler arm support fastener would then be free to move while vehicle is in operation, causing the fasteners to wear.

Remedy

Dealer will install a redesigned idler arm mounting on all affected vehicles.
