Here is a report on a serious incident on Nov 23rd 1997 with an MD83.
http://www.bea-fr.org/docspa/1997/f-...-mc971123a.pdf

The main issue has more to do with not monitoring properly the vertical path.
However the selection of a wrong CRS when intercepting the ILS and the subsequent AP inability to intercept the localizer were key factors in the incident.

Within the course of this investigation, the manufacturer has researched what is the maximum erroneous ILS course selection from which the localizer capture is no longer possible.
This is 40° on MD83.
