Description of the problem	Telescoping lever releases by itself causing whole steering wheel to suddenly collapse to seated (lowest) position. Extremely dangerous driving within speed limit (55 mph) while on highway. It happens suddenly, unexpected and totally inexcusable if an accident which could be fatal occur. There numerous complaints but no authorized repairs from the manufacture at this time which is somewhat disappointing due to the fact that this is a "saftey issue".

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
