What is wrong
THE ELASTIC PORTION OF THE RETAINING BOLTS USED TO SUPPORT THE STEERING GEAR BOX MAY BE TOO SHORT. AS A RESULT, THESE BOLTS WILL NOT LOCK SUFFICIENTLY, CAUSING THE NUTS TO LOOSEN AND ALLOWING THE STEERING GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY TO BECOME INOPERATIVE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE STEERING GEAR BOX AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE SHORT BOLTS WITH LONGER BOLTS AT NO 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.
