What NHTSA recorded

The lock nut may not have been tightened enough on the steering gear box worm gear bearing and adjuster. Consequently, the worm gear adjuster may become loose due to excessive pressure from hard repeated steering.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect the steering gear box on the involved vehicles and, if necessary, secure the steering gear box worm gear bearing and adjuster to prevent steering instability.
