What is wrong
THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS AT EACH END OF THE STEERING SHAFT ARE ATTACHED TO THE SHAFT WITH A KEY AND SET SCREW. THE SET SCREWS MAY LOOSEN AND ALLOW THE KEY TO FALL OUT OF PLACE.
What can happen
IF THE KEY FALLS OUT, THE UNIVERSAL JOINT WOULD SPIN ON THE SHAFT, RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING AND A POSSIBLE CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
MODIFY STEERING LINKAGE TO PREVENT SET SCREW FROM LOOSENING AND KEY FROM COMING OUT OF KEY WAY.

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.
