Recall 00V225001: Possible Steering Defect

A nut in the steering gear assembly was not properly tightened, resulting in symptoms ranging from steering wheel vibration to stiff steering, and in the worst case, no ability to turn left.

A loss of steering control could increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect these vehicles and replace the steering gear assembly if a loose nut connection is found.
