Service bulletin 9004419

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

SCREW, Hex Flange Head, Rack and Pinion Gear to Frame NEW MOUNTING BOLTS ARE REQUIRED WHEN EPS GEAR IS REPLACED. The steering gear mounting washers between the gear and frame were eliminated, and threads internal to the EPS mounts were repositioned which may cause the old bolt (or new bolts manufactured prior to 7/31/2021) to bottom out prior to achieving torque which can cause an NVH issue. For a new EPS gear (with mounting washers eliminated) please use 06510880AA bolts manufactured after 7/31/21). New bolts have a shorter shoulder length (approx 130mm) than bolts made prior to 7/31/21 (approx 140mm).

A recall listed here may apply to some of the same vehicles. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle.
