On certain vehicles, the lower yoke on the steering shaft may have been incorrectly fabricated. If the splines of the steering shaft push through the lower yoke, the steering wheel will be free to turn without any response from the vehicle. A loss of steering control could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will install a tension collar to the steering shaft to secure the connection to the yoke.
