CADILLAC, CHEVY AND GMC POWER STEERING FAILURE RECALL
A new General Motors recall concerns almost 27,000 vehicles due to faulty power steering. Those models are:
2021 Cadillac Escalade
2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV
2021 Chevrolet Suburban
2021 Chevrolet Tahoe
2021 GMC Yukon
2021 GMC Yukon XL
Due to faulty software, General Motors says power steering assist may fail while driving.
Oddly enough, investigators also discovered that sometimes the problem sometimes went away by turning off the vehicle and restarting.
A GM driver may notice an illuminated warning light and hear a chime, in addition to realizing the steering wheel is hard to turn.
GM will update the software in the power steering modules and the update can actually be done OTA (over the air). With that, if owners aren’t comfortable with that, they can still take their car to the dealership for the update.
Owner recall notification letters are expected to be mailed August 2, 2021.
