## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the steering column intermediate shaft is undersized, which could allow the intermediate shaft to spin inside the steering column coupling resulting in loss of directional control of the vehicle.  If this were to happen while the vehicle is moving, a crash could result without prior warning.  Correction:  Dealer will inspect, and replace if necessary, the steering column intermediate shaft.
