What NHTSA recorded
Steering arm may crack after repeated full lock turns due to the lack of end-of-travel relief features. Consequence of defect: loss of steering control would be experienced if cracks expand to complete fracture of the arm, and a crash could occur without prior warning.
Remedy
Replace steering arm with a redesigned strengthened arm.
