What This Recall Means

Component

STEERING

What Happened
The intermediate steering shaft in your vehicle is a long rod that connects the steering column to the wheels. In some cases, the part you got from Dorman may not have a strong enough joint that could fail prematurely.
Risk if Unfixed
If the joint on your steering shaft fails, the u-joint could come apart while you're driving, making it impossible to control your vehicle. This could lead to a serious accident.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
You should contact Dorman to get a refund for the part or have it replaced for free, and they'll also notify your dealer to replace it for you, also free of charge. You can reach Dorman at 1-800-523-2492 to get started.
