General Motors LLC "GM" is recalling certain 2014-2016 Chevrolet Caprice Police Pursuit vehicles "PPV", previously remedied under recall 16V-160. The connector between the electric power steering module and the torque sensor may fail, possibly resulting in a loss of electric power steering assist.
A greater steering effort would be needed to control the vehicle if power steering assist is lost, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steering gear assembly, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began May 15, 2017. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
