What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES THE STEERING WHEEL RETAINING NUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED DURING ASSEMBLY.
THE NUT MAY CONTINUE TO LOOSEN AND COULD EVENTUALLY COME OUT, ALLOWING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
