It has to do with the electrically assisted power steering system (EPS). National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently announced this recall that affects 690,685 trucks.
We do not cover all of the recalls, but this one is significant because it involves a lot of trucks and affects a lot of people. Please use the NHTSA link to see which recalls affects your vehicle.
The recall is addressing a problem with a temporary loss of power steering assist, especially at slower speed maneuvers. Since the steering may get unexpectedly heavy, this presents a safety concern.
The remedy is for your dealership to update the software that controls the steering system. This will be done free of charge. No hardware changes or modifications are required under this recall.
We have not experienced this problem during our testing. Here is a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 on the Ike Gauntlet™ – world’s toughest towing test.
