The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the steering electric power assist system. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

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

WHY IT MATTERS

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.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will replace the EPS motor, free of charge.
