What this recall means for you
Corrosion can develop at the connector between the electric power steering module and the torque sensor. If this happens, the electric power steering assist may stop working, and the driver would need to apply much greater effort to steer the vehicle.
Losing power steering assist increases the risk of a crash, because steering becomes harder to control, especially at low speeds or during sudden maneuvers. Owners should be aware of this risk while the vehicle is still awaiting repair.
GM will notify owners, and authorized Chevrolet dealers will inspect the steering gear assembly and replace it if necessary, at no cost to you. You can also check your VIN for open recalls and contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 with questions about this recall.
