(1) The design is such that when the engine is started if the steering column fails to unlock the fuel supply will be shut off if the driver attempts to move the vehicle.However if the voltage at the powertrain control model is low or interrupted fuel shut off may not occur and in consequence the vehicle can be accelerated whilst the steering is locked.(2) During engine cranking the ECL locking pin may not withdraw fully which can result in contact between the lock pin and the locking plate. This can cause noise or ratcheting when the steering is turned. Should the clearance be insufficient the possibility exists that the steering cannot be turned. | Recalled vehicles will have the electronic control unit re-programmed and lock mechanism inspected to ascertain whether there is adequate lock plate clearance.

If ignored a failed cross shaft would lead to loss of throttle control whilst driving. | Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the throttle assembly will be checked for compliance with specification. Should a non-compliance be identified the throttle pedal assembly will be replaced. | 473 | sar009 | VANQUISH | 500001 | 501558 | 10/11/2001 | 09/11/2004 |
