STEERING

What Happened
The steering rack is a critical part that helps you steer your vehicle. In some 2018-2021 models, a bolt that holds it in place may corrode and break.
Risk if Unfixed
If this bolt breaks, the steering rack housing can fail, causing you to lose control of your vehicle while driving. This could lead to a serious crash.
