- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2018533
- Manufacturer's number: RC118
- Reported: 2018\-09\-26
- Component: Steering
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 31

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the bracket that secures the steering column assembly may have been improperly welded and could separate. If this occurs, a driver may notice a loose feeling and/or a loud clunking noise from the steering column while turning the steering wheel. Ultimately, this could cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the cross cowl bar assembly to ensure the steering column assembly is properly secured.
