  "risk_type": "Injuries",
  "risk": "The product poses a serious risk of injuries because in the universal joint which connects the steering shaft and the gear box, there are tightening bolts that may not have been sufficiently tightened. In such a case, the connecting area concerned may loosen while steering operation is done in stationary state. If a vehicle is used continually in such a condition, abnormal noise may emanate, and in the worst case the connecting area may be possibly detached, leading to eventual loss of steering control.",
