The problem
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. These vehicles May have an ignition lock assembly with improperly seated key cylinder cap connector pins. Vibration can cause the connecting pins to loosen and/or fall out allowing the key cylinder cap to disengage from the key cylinder.
The risk
If this occurs, the steering wheel lock rod can move, which could lock the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the ignition lock assembly and assemblies with loose or missing end cap connector pins will be replaced. A ring clip will be installed on all others to prevent loosening of the pins.
