What can go wrong

The steering column to steering wheel shaft may not have been assembled correctly. If not corrected noise and play will become apparent and if these warnings are not acted on eventually steering control could be lost.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary refit the steering column correctly to the steering wheel shaft.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
