Details

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.

Typically, at the next ignition cycle, power assist is regained and the Driver Information Centre message will be off.

Steering control can be maintained, as the vehicle will revert to a manual steering mode, but would require greater driver effort at low vehicle speeds, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Vehicles will receive a special extended warranty coverage of 10 years/240,000 km from first registration.

Under this special coverage program, vehicles which experience this condition will have the electric power steering motor replaced.
