What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the steering wheel could become loose on the steering shaft due to insufficient torque on the steering wheel retaining nut. This could result in loss of steering control and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will inspect the steering wheel retaining nut for correct torque and tighten as necessary.
