A steering assembly for a vehicle includes a housing having a signal portion and defining a shaft enclosure. A steering shaft includes a cancellation rib that rotates about a rotational axis and within the shaft enclosure. A trunnion rotates within the signal portion of the housing about a trunnion axis to define a null position and right-turn and left-turn positions. A toggle includes a cancellation member. The toggle axially and rotationally operates with respect to one of the trunnion and the turn-signal housing. The cancellation member in the null position is within the shaft enclosure and axially offset from the cancellation rib. The cancellation member in one of the right-turn and left-turn positions is within the shaft enclosure and axially aligned for selective engagement with the cancellation rib. Selective engagement of the cancellation rib and the cancellation member axially operates the toggle to the null position.
