Corolla- Tilt steering problem

I have a 2001 Toyota Corolla, The japanese version. It has the tilt feature on the steering wheel which allows the driver to adjust the steering wheel up and down. Recently i have noticed that the lever that locks the wheel in place after it is adjusted it not holding it securely. So when i am driving with the wheel adjusted up, it is dropping down unexpectedly. Whats going on there?

Probably the bolt(s) holding the locking mechanism has loosened and need to be tightened.
