What is being recalled

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES BUILT IN JAPAN. THE STEERING WHEEL SET NUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED CAUSING STEERING VIBRATION AND LOOSENESS.

Why it is dangerous

THE NUT CAN EVENTUALLY COME OFF ALLOWING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING SHAFT, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

DEALERS WILL RETIGHTEN THE STEERING SET NUT.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 98V-155 when calling a dealer.
