On certain vehicles, the inner tie rod nuts may be loose, which could result in separation of a tie rod. Separation of a tie rod could cause unexpected steering input in some maneuvers and could cause a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will check the torque of the inner tie rod nuts and if necessary, adjust the vehicle toe-in and tighten the inner tie rod nuts to the specified torque.
