What this recall means for you
Some 2014-2016 Chevrolet Caprice Police Pursuit vehicles did not receive a replacement steering gear under earlier recalls. The connector between the electric power steering module and the torque sensor may fail, which can cause a loss of electric power steering assist.
If power steering assist is lost, the vehicle becomes much harder to steer, especially at lower speeds, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware of this loss of assist and take the recall seriously.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steering gear assembly and replace any that are not of the approved part numbers, free of charge. Check your VIN for open recalls, or contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 and reference GM recall number N202306620.
