Recalls

Certain vehicles equipped with electric power steering may experience a sudden loss of power steering assist that could occur at any time while driving.

If the power steering assist is lost, a message is displayed on the Driver Information Centre and a chime sounds to inform the driver.

Steering control can be maintained, as the vehicle will revert to a manual steering mode, but requires greater driver effort at low vehicle speeds.

Unless a driver compensates for this additional steering effort, loss of power steering assist may increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Vehicles will receive a special extended warranty coverage for a period of 10 years/240,000 km, whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership.

Under this special coverage program, for 2005 & 2006 model year vehicles, dealers will replace the steering column.

For 2008 model year vehicles, dealers will replace the power steering motor control module.
