- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2007133
- Manufacturer's number: 07S52
- Reported: 2007\-04\-27
- Component: Steering
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 3

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the steering gear attaching bolts may have been over\-torqued during vehicle assembly, potentially weakening the bolts.  If a steering gear attaching bolt fractures, there may be an audible noise at low speed and the steering wheel alignment may be off center.  If both bolts were to break, the vehicle might not respond to steering inputs which could result in a loss of control and a crash causing injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will replace the steering gear to frame attaching hardware.
