What NHTSA recorded

The steering linkage assemby contains a relay rod tapered-stud attachment nut that was not torqued to proper specifications.

Possible consequence

The tapered stud can loosen and the driver would notice a lag in the responsiveness to steering wheel inputs. Eventually the relay rod stud can fracture resulting loss of steering control.

Remedy

Dealers will remove the existing crimped nut and install a new nut torqued to specifications.
