its not exactly uncommon for the UJ bolts to come loose on all manner of cars - i have seen this on toyota corollas and vauxhall corsas several times over the years. There is usually play noticed before steering could be lost - the splines on column shaft and in the UJ avoid all steering being lost. Looking at the 3 wheeler steering linkages i'm amazed that steering actually failed as the bits can't really part company in use. A photo would be good as i just can't imagine how this could occur.
