Limited movement of this joint may create excessive load on the lower steering column shaft and, if the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, may lead to cracking of the shaft during low speed manoeuvres that require large steering inputs.  In an extreme case, the shaft may break which would result in loss of steering control and could result in a crash.  Correction: Dealers will replace the affected column shafts and joints.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"R172","part_number":null,"units":14407,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","french":{"component":"Direction","notification":"Sécurité - TC","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, de la corrosion pourrait se former dans le joint inférieure de la colonne de direction et limiter le déplacement du joint. Un mouvement limité de ce joint pourrait produire une tension excessive sur l'arbre inférieur de la colonne de direction et, si on continuait à utiliser le véhicule dans cet état, l'arbre pourrait se fissurer lors de manœuvres à basse vitesse qui nécessitent de tourner beaucoup le volant. Dans un cas extrême, l'arbre pourrait se briser, ce qui causerait une perte de contrôle de la direction et pourrait causer un accident.
