What is wrong
The molded plastic pin which connects the upper steering column shaft and the lower column shaft may have been sheared prior to installation of the steering column assembly into the vehicle. If this occurred, the upper steering shaft will separate from the lower steering shaft.
The risk
If the upper and lower steering shafts separate, completeloss of steering control will occur, which could result in an accident.
The fix
A restraining sleeve will be added to the intermediate shaft to limit the amount of steering shaft movement available.
