What NHTSA recorded

The steering wheel armature stamping can crack and separate from the center hub attachment to the steering column.

Possible consequence

If the steering wheel separates from the center hub attachment to the steering column, loss of control can occur increasing the risk of an accident.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the steering wheel for armature cracks in the center hub attachment area. Any steering wheels showing cracks will be replaced. All other vehicles will have a reinforcement plate installed to prevent steering wheel separation in the event cracking occurs.
