ABSTRACT:
A tilt or rake adjustable steering column having a first or tilt lever locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism separate from the first locking mechanism. The second locking mechanism has a pivotable eccentric cam or locking wedge that engages a fixed member to hold the adjustable steering column in the event the first locking mechanisms fails. The tilt lever locking mechanism is linked by a spring to the second locking mechanism so that movement of the tilt lever locking mechanism from a locked position to an unlocked position moves the pivotable eccentric cam from an engaged position to a non-engaged position.
