What NHTSA recorded

Due to the type of lubricant used in the steering transfer gear assembly, the effort required to turn the steering wheel at low ambient temperatures (less than -30 c) could increase to the point where some drivers would have difficulty in turning the wheel.

Possible consequence

This condition could result in the inability to change the direction of the vehicle while attempting to turn the wheel, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers are replacing the steering transfer gear assembly with a new assembly having different lubricant.
