Defect
In the steering column, the outer tube was manufactured with insufficient roundness, causing the load on the internal bearing to be distributed unevenly. Continued use can damage the bearing, resulting in excessive vertical play in the steering wheel. In the worst case, the steering wheel may lose its fore-and-aft locking capability.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the steering column assembly with a conforming unit.
