The hazard
On certain vehicles, an incorrect weld on the steering shaft tube assembly may allow the splined tube and the non-splined tube to rotate relative to one another during a low speed, high torque turn, possibly resulting in a separation of the two tubes. This could result in a loss of steering control and a crash cause property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering shaft assembly.
