The problem: The snap ring on the steering shaft can disengage on harsh surfaces, potentially causing the steering shaft to disengage.
The fix: Lexus will replace the snap ring with one of a different design. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified in late August.
Number of vehicles affected: 39,000 (est.)
