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.
