The issue
On certain vehicles, the cable seal of one or both of the electric power steering (EPS) connectors may not be properly seated which could allow water to enter and corrode the connections. 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 ensure the connector is fully seated and secure it in place.
Description (français)
Le presse-étoupe de câble d'un ou de plusieurs raccords de la direction à assistance électrique de certains véhicules pourrait avoir mal été installé, ce qui pourrait laisser de l'eau pénétrer et corroder les raccords. Des raccords endommagés pourraient augmenter la résistance dans le circuit de la direction à assistance électrique et causer une perte intermittente ou permanente de la direction. Si le conducteur perdait l'assistance électrique, il faudrait peut-être qu'il exerce inopinément une plus grande force pour tourner, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de collision causant des blessures et/ou des dommages aux biens. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent s'assurer que le raccord est bien installé et fixer en place.
