## What is wrong

On certain vehicles registered and operated in areas where road salt is used on the roadways during winter months for extended time periods \(Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland\-Labrador\), corrosion may occur at the steering gear motor attachment bolts.  Steering gear motor detachment from the gear housing could result in sudden loss of steering power assist.  This would cause the Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control malfunction indicator lamps to illuminate.  A vehicle experiencing a loss of steering power assist would revert to a manual steering mode which would require greater driver effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. A loss of steering power assist could ultimately result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction:  Dealers will apply sealer and replace the steering gear motor attachment bolts as required.  If one or more of the steering gear motor attachment bolds are broken or missing, a new steering gear will be installed in the vehicle.
