What NHTSA recorded

The knuckle stop nuts are too short, possibly resulting in failure of the nut under heavy steering force. This may allow the wheel to rotate too far to the right or left, permitting the tire to contact other vehicle parts.

Remedy

All short knuckle stop nuts will be replaced with longer ones without charge to owner.
