In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving.

💥 The risk

If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.

Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006.
