Recall 2017048

The issue

On certain vehicles, melting snow and water containing road salt may enter the vehicle and corrode a splice connection in the electric power steering (EPS) module circuit. This could lead to increased resistance in the EPS circuit which could result in intermittent or permanent loss of the steering assist. A loss of power steering assist could unexpectedly increase steering effort which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will seal the affected connection and repair it as necessary.

Description (français)

De la neige fondante et de l'eau contenant du sel de voirie pourraient entrer dans certains véhicules et corroder l'épissure du circuit du module de la direction à assistance électrique. Cela pourrait augmenter la résistance dans le circuit et causer une perte intermittente ou permanente de la direction. Cette perte de la direction à assistance électrique pourrait augmenter inopinément l'effort nécessaire pour diriger le véhicule et ainsi accroître les risques de collisions causant des blessures et/ou des dommages aux biens. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent sceller l'épissure touchée et la réparer au besoin.
