What NHTSA recorded

Stresses imposed on the lever during turning maneuvers and/or impact incidents, such as would be caused by curbs or road surface irregularity, reduce the life expectancy of the part. The steering lever may crack and eventually the stresses could cause the steering lever to break.

Possible consequence

A broken steering lever will cause loss of steeringcontrol without prior warning which may result in a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Replace the defective steering arms.
