Steering: steering wheel/handle bar

What is wrong: The steering wheel armature stamping can crack due to fatigue and separate from the center hub attachment to the steering column.
Risk: This condition can cause separation of the center hub attachment to the steering column resulting in a loss of control and an accident.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the steering wheel for armature cracks and replace any wheels exhibiting cracks. All other vehicles will have a reinforcement plate installed to prevent steering wheel separation if cracking occurs.
