   Air Bags / Frontal

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain Dorman P/N 525-016, Solutions P/N 665-3499 and OE Solutions P/N 525-016 aftermarket clock spring assemblies manufactured January 18, 2016, to October 11, 2016. The coil harness may not have been centered when it was wound, and, as a result, after the air bag is installed, turning the steering wheel may cause the cable to tear.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the cable tears, the driver's air bag may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dorman will notify and provide owners with instructions for a diagnostic inspection of the clock spring assemblies. If found defective, Dorman dealers will replace the defective clock spring assembly with a new clock spring, free of charge. The recall began on December 7, 2016. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492 and press 5.

   Products named: Solutions Clock Spring Assembly; Dorman Clock Spring Assembly; OE Solutions Clock Spring Assembly.

These aftermarket replacement steering shafts are sold for use in 1995-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car vehicles. These steering shafts may separate during operation if the integral fastener is loose or missing and if the interfacing vehicle shaft is compressed in length.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the shafts separate during vehicle operation, a loss of steering control would result, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain replacement intermediate steering shafts sold under the Dorman, OE Solutions, and Solutions brand names, part numbers 425-167, 2425167, and 7-3074, for installation on 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura vehicles. The affected steering shafts may have a yoke that inadequately supports the u-joint bearing resulting in a premature failure.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A joint bearing that fails prematurely may cause separation of the u-joint resulting in a complete loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dorman will notify owners, and dealers will refund the purchase price or replace the steering shafts, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492.
