Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain 2014-2016 Chevrolet SS vehicles that previously received an inspect-only remedy under recall 17V-382. The recall addresses a defect where corrosion of the connector between the electric power steering module and the torque sensor connector may cause a loss of electric power steering assist.

If the power steering assist is lost, a greater steering effort would be needed to control the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gear assembly free of charge. The recall began on December 27, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GM customer service at 1-586-596-1733. GM's number for this recall is N192265980.
