This could overstress the steering column shaft when the nut is tightened. In addition, the nut may have been cracked during manufacture, which could result in the nut fracturing when it is tightened during vehicle assembly.  Either of these conditions could potentially lead to the steering wheel becoming loose or separating from the steering column.  This could result in loss of steering control and a crash without prior warning.  Correction:  Dealers will inspect and replace the steering wheel retention armature an, if necessary, the steering column will be replaced.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"00S19","part_number":null,"units":22,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Direction","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, l'écrou qui retient le volant sur la colonne de direction peut avoir été posé à l'envers. Il se pourrait donc que l'arbre de la colonne de direction ait été soumis à des contraintes excessives quand l'écrou a été serré. Il se peut aussi que l'écrou ait été fissuré pendant sa fabrication et qu'il se soit brisé quand on l'a posé sur le véhicule lors du montage. Dans un cas comme dans l'autre, le volant peut prendre du jeu ou se détacher de la colonne de direction, ce qui pourrait entraîner un perte de contrôle et causer un accident imprévisible.  Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et remplacer l'armature de retenue du volant  et, s'il y a lieu, la colonne de direction."},"vehicles":[{"year":2001,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2001_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2000226"}
