What is wrong
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED USING A STANDARD TYPE NUT TO FASTEN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS NUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS AND MAY BACK OFF THE STEERING COLUMN AS A RESULT. THIS WILL ALLOW THE STEERING WHEEL TO DISENGAGE FROM THE COLUMN.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL REPLACE THE STANDARD NUT WITH A SELF-LOCKING NUT THAT WILL BE TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
