What is wrong

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Caprice Police Pursuit Vehicles manufactured May 15, 2013, to March 3, 2016. Corrosion of the connector between the electric power steering module and the torque sensor connector may cause a loss of electric power steering assist.

The risk

A greater steering effort would be needed to control the vehicle if power steering is lost, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gear assembly, free of charge. The recall began on May 11, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-[removed]. GM's number for this recall is 22010.

Notes from the manufacturer
