ON VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE ROLL PINS SECURING THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER IN THE STEERING COLUMN HOUSING MAY NOT REMAIN IN PLACE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER TO DISENGAGE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN HOUSING WHICH COULD RESULT IN STEERING COLUMN LOCK-UP AND LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND IF ROLL PINS ARE PRESENT AND FULLY INSERTED, A PLASTIC SNAP-ON SLEEVE WILL BE INSTALLED TO PREVENT THE PINS FROM COMING OUT. IF ONE OR BOTH OR THE ROLL PINS ARE MISSING OR NOT FULLY INSERTED, THE IGNITION LOCK HOUSING ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED (ALONG WITH THE DOOR LOCKS AND THE LIFTGATE/DECK-LID LOCKS SO THAT KEY COMPATIBILITY IS MAINTAINED).
