STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR

General Motors is recalling certain model year 2013 Buick Encore vehicles manufactured between December 9, 2012 and December 28, 2012, and equipped with a heated steering wheel. The steering wheel fastener may not have been properly installed. This could cause the steering wheel to come loose or separate from the steering column.

If the steering wheel separates from the steering column while driving, the ability to steer could be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.
