Hazard

Due to their insufficient hardness, the splines which connect the intermediate extension shaft of the steering system to the steering gear box may deform, develop increased backlash and eventually wear out, which could result in a loss of steering ability. This might happen if the steering wheel is frequently and forcefully turned to the full-lock position while driving at slow speed.
