DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles may experience a buzzing noise from the steering column when driving on rough roads or passing over speed bumps. This buzzing noise may be caused by the lower steering column cover (A) contacting the steering wheel adjustment lock lever (B). To correct the problem, felt is attached to the steering column cover.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Verify customer concern.
2. Pull the lock lever release and attach the two pieces of felt (KD45-55-163 and KD45-55-162) to the lower steering column cover as shown, without removing the steering column cover (F: Front of vehicle).
NOTE: Provide 5 mm of clearance between the two pieces of felt. DO NOT overlap them to avoid peeling off.
