A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

153562017-01-30. Service bulletin. 15356 - SPECIAL COVERAGE. ON SOME 2007-2012 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET MALIBU, PONTIAC G6, AND SATURN AURA VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST (EPS), THE STEERING COLUMN TORQUE SENSOR OR THE EPS MOTOR/CONTROLLER MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY LOSE EPS. IF THE VEHICLE LOSES EPS, THE VEHICLE’S DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER WILL DISPLAY A WARNING MESSAGE AND A WARNING CHIME WILL BE HEARD. THE VEHICLE WILL REVERT TO A MANUAL STEERING MODE, WHICH REQUIRES GREATER DRIVER EFFORT TO OPERATE AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS. DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN TORQUE SENSOR OR EPS MOTOR/CONTROLLER BASED ON DTC. THE REPAIRS WILL BE MADE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER.

DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING MOTOR.
