What is wrong
On certain vehicles, the control module for the Electric Power Steering (EPS) unit may not function properly and could switch off while driving. This would cause a loss of steering power assist, which may result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the Electric Power Steering unit.
