The issue
On certain vehicles, the steering gear may have been manufactured incorrectly. A steering gear with this condition may produce the feeling of hitting a curb and a cracking or pinging sound when the steering wheel is turned. The steering wheel position may be off-centre and increased effort may be required when turning, which could result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the steering gear.
