- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2018130
- Manufacturer's number: 18S08
- Reported: 2018\-03\-14
- Component: Steering
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 59266

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the steering wheel bolt torque retention feature may not fully engage into the steering shaft.  If the bolt loosens, the steering wheel may appear to be loose, which could affect vehicle control.  If a loose bolt is left unrepaired, the steering wheel may detach from the steering column, which could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering wheel bolt with a longer bolt.
