Issue
On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the electric power steering assist motor to the steering gear may corrode and break. This could cause a loss of power steering assist.
Safety risk
A loss of power steering assist would result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective actions
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the aluminum bolts with steel ones.
