What NHTSA recorded

Some of the involved vehicles may be susceptible to extensive rusting of the splined section of the lower steering shaft. This could prevent the splined shaft from moving into the sleeve. If this occurs, excessive stress is applied between the joint connection and input shaft, causing unacceptable motion of the universal joint connection.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and replace the existing column with a newly designed column or will invert the existing column to locate the splined section inside the cab, at no cost to owner.
