What NHTSA recorded

A lock nut which secures the tie rod to the inner ball joint of the steering system may not have been securely fastened on some of the involved vehicles during assembly. If this condition exists and the vehicle is driven along poor roads for an extended period of time, the tie rod could separate from the steering assembly.

Remedy
