What NHTSA recorded
The steering column yoke unit may have been assembled with a 3/8 inch bolt and 30-35 ft/lbs of torque instead of the specified 7/16 inch bolt requiring 60-65 ft/lbs.
Remedy
The inadequate bolt will be replaced with the proper 7/16 inch bolt and lock nut, and the proper torque of 60-65 ft/lbs will be applied.
