PROBLEM
This Product Improvement Program is a Safety Recall in accordance with the US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act. The oil filler cap can become dislodged due to cap damage or improper installation and become lodged in the u-joint of the steering driveline and steering gear. If the cap becomes lodged in this area, it may result in difficulty steering the vehicle and/or cause complete steering lock-up, which could result in a vehicle crash. It is a violation of US Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or new or used engine covered by this Safety PIP until the PIP has been completed.
