What’s Wrong
If the vehicle is subject to unusually severe impacts to the front wheel it is possible that the fixing component on the steering shaft can become disengaged. If this occurs and the steering is repeatedly placed on full lock it is possible that over time the steering shaft could become disconnected so resulting in loss of directional control.
