Service bulletin 14232A
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.

NHTSA's summary
14232A - SPECIAL COVERAGE (WARRANTY TRANSACTION INFORMATION REVISED). SOME 2012-2014 MODEL YEAR (MY) BUICK VERANO, 2011-2014 MY CHEVROLET CRUZE AND VOLT, 2010-2014 MY CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND GMC TERRAIN, AND 2013-2014 MY CHEVROLET MALIBU VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (NJ0/NJ1), MAY HAVE INCREASED FRICTION IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. THIS COULD CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO STICK IN THE STRAIGHT-AHEAD POSITION AFTER DRIVING LONG DISTANCES ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL CAN BE TURNED BUT IT MAY REQUIRE INCREASED EFFORT. DEALERS ARE TO 1) REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR ON 2010-2012 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES; OR 2) REPROGRAM THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE ON 2013-2014 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES.
