Details

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

If the electronic control unit (ECU) were to sense a discrepancy in the torque sensing circuitry of the steering system, and indicator lamp would illuminate in the instrument cluster to inform the driver that steering assist is no longer provided.

Steering control could be maintained, as the vehicle will revert to a manual steering mode, but would require greater driver effort.

The sudden change in steering may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

Correction: Dealers will update the electric power steering (EPS) control unit.
