On certain vehicles, the steering column boot may interfere with the steering shaft during turns. This may cause the boot to become entangled on the shaft resulting in a greater than expected force required to turn the steering wheel which, in turn, may increase the possibility of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering column boot.
