What is wrong

The steering wheel armature stamping can crack due to fatigue and separate from the center hub attachment to the steering column.

The risk

This condition can cause separation of the center hub attachment to the steering column resulting in a loss of control and an accident.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the steering wheel for armature cracks and replace any wheels exhibiting cracks. All other vehicles will have a reinforcement plate installed to prevent steering wheel separation if cracking occurs.
