The electric power steering system in your vehicle uses electric motors to help you turn the wheels. In certain 2016-2018 models, these motors can wear out too quickly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the power steering fails, you'll need to use more force to steer, especially at low speeds, which could make it harder to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the power steering gear assembly with a new one, which should give you smoother and safer steering. This repair is free of charge, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
