What NHTSA recorded

The floorboard opening and the steering column seal bracket may not allow sufficient clearance for the shaft to turn freely in the center of the bracket/seal. The pinch bolt in the column yoke may bind or lock the column against the bracket, allowing little or no wheel return.

Remedy

Dealer will enlarge the hole in the floorboard to provide clearance for the steering column u-joint pinch bolt. A new bracket and clamp will also be installed without charge to owner.
