Recall 2018643

The issue

On certain vehicles, a defect in the power steering pump could cause it to seize after a long period of vehicle non-operation (such as overnight parking) during cold ambient temperatures. This would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle at lower vehicle speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the power steering pump.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, un défaut au niveau de la pompe de la direction assistée pourrait faire en sorte que la pompe se grippe après une longue période d'arrêt (comme la nuit) lorsqu'il fait froid. Cela augmenterait sans que l'on s'y attende la force nécessaire pour diriger le véhicule à basse vitesse, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires remplaceront la pompe de direction assistée.
