What Happened
Your vehicle's steering system has a part called the intermediate steering shaft attaching bolts that may not be tightened properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If this isn't fixed, the steering shaft could separate, causing you to lose control of your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
You should take your vehicle to the dealership, where they will inspect and tighten the steering shaft bolts to the correct specification at no cost to you.
