Recall 88V187000: Steering Shaft Friction Surface

Steering wheel/shaft designed to use surface friction may loose this friction if grease or oil is present on the cone shaped surface of the steering shaft. If the above condition is present and the steering wheel nut is torqued lower than specified, break of the friction lock could result in loosening and separation of the steering wheel.

Remove the steering wheel of vehicles and clean friction surface and install a spring retainer, replace the steering wheel nut with a self locking nut.

System: Steering.

Vehicle description: Passenger cars.
