What NHTSA recorded
Steering columns contain an incorrect and possibly under torqued coupling to steering column clamping bolt.

Low torque on clamping bolt could result in separation of coupling from the steering column or wear on the splines and could cause loss of steering control with potential for an accident.
Remedy
Install grade eight fasteners with properly torqued nuts.
