What is the danger

There may be cracks in a securing nut in the steering gear of rear-wheel-drive vehicles.

Requirements breached

The nut could consequently break if the steering system is subject to a very high lateral force, which could result in rotating parts in the steering gear affecting the casing and thereby blocking the steering system.
