What NHTSA recorded

Improperly manufactured steering lock bolts could break if driver applies excessive force to a locked steering wheel in an attempt to disengage the steering lock.

Possible consequence

Bolt breakage would cause steering wheel to remain locked even after the driver turns the ignition key and attempts to move the car; this total loss of steering control could result in an accident.

Remedy

Replace complete steering lock assembly, including a modified lock bolt.
