What NHTSA recorded

The pinch bolt used to clamp the steering drive shaft yoke to the steering gear box shaft may have insufficient torque. Consequence of defect: if the pinch bolt has insufficient torque, the bolt will wear to the extent that loss of interface with the groove in the steering box would occur, allowing the steering drive shaft to slip off and result in loss of steering and a potential crash.

Remedy

Install new pinch bolts, as necessary, and retorque to 40-45 lb./ft.
