Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Requesting that nhtsa please amplify and investigate. Steering wheel on my kia rio 2010 car started squeaking when the steering wheel is turned either left or right. Power steering fluid is normal and the car has not been in an accident. There may be a connection in regards to the "current" recall in regards to "an improper application of thread-locking adhesive" that the kia souls have. There is "numerous" postings on web sites of owners complaining about the same steering wheel sound issue. The steering wheel sound, is not normal and it is way too much of a coincidence to ignore. Please pursue "due diligence" in regards to this. Thank you.
